CAC November Racial Equity Learning Workshop Series

The California Arts Council is partnering with PUSH Dance and Dancing Around Race to offer a racial equity learning workshop series.

Three workshops offered this November will center local artists and cultural practitioners to advance racial equity in California’s creative field

Registration is now open for the California Arts Council’s free online public workshops intended to advance racial equity within the state’s arts and cultural field. The three-part series was co-created through a partnership with the Bay Area’s PUSH Dance Company and Dancing Around Race, as part of a pilot project supported by the Government Alliance on Race & Equity’s Innovation and Implementation Fund.

Themes explored will be relevant to arts organizations, artists, nonprofits, and government agencies interested in advancing racial equity practices in their institutions.

Each workshop features standalone curriculum; registrants may attend as many as they see fit to the relevance and goals of their work. To allow for a level of interaction and depth for all participants each workshop is limited to 50 participants. Please register today to hold your place; there will be a waitlist and we will be in touch to confirm your spot in the workshop.

Workshops will include closed captioning and live ASL and Spanish interpretation. Archived video recordings of each workshop will be published to this page within 72 hours following each webinar.
