In order to provide quality arts programming that is culturally relevant, organizations must build an intentional culture that supports quality teaching and learning. Organizational leadership and staff must continuously work towards a strong sense of personal self-awareness and towards understanding and addressing the not-so-apparent systems of inequalities within the organization's structures and processes.

Participants will:

• Understand how your orgranization defines equity and inclusivity

• Learn strategies to recognize and address implicit and explicit biases across the organization

• Engage in exercises to assess the state of affairs in your program(s) with regard to cultural responsiveness

Continental breakfast will be provided.
