Art can influence social issues by shining a light on injustices, offering insights into others’ lives, suggesting new ways of thinking, or it can reinforce existing systems of oppression. Join Monroe County NOW on Thursday, May 23, at 7pm via Zoom as we highlight the creations of Monroe County artists whose work is connected to the sociopolitical causes they and we care about.
Learn about how you can support their work and discover organizations where your own creativity could help fuel the goal of diversity, equity, and inclusivity.
Guest speakers for this meeting are as follows:
-Laura LaSuertmer, Assistant Creative Director and Facilitator of Women Writing for (a) Change
-Deborah Meader, Co-President of the Persisterhood Workshop
-Caleb Poer, Visual Artist
-Holly Warren, Assistant Director for the Arts, Bloomington Department of Economic and Sustainable Development
