Ethics And Values Of Community Arts Practice Workshop
Artists working in communities encounter the unique ethical challenges of participatory arts practice. How is it possible to balance the commitment to a funder or sponsoring organization with commitments to community participants? Is the community artist’s role to channel others’ creativity without intruding, or should the artist’s own aesthetics, values, and priorities be part of the mix? How do you handle censorship, conflict, disruption? Led by renown author and practitioner, Arlene Goldbard, this hands-on workshop will help participants identify their own values and ethical commitments, equipping themselves to anticipate and head off conflicts, and find mutual, respectful solutions when they do arise.
Presented by Leeway in partnership with Stockton Rush Bartol Foundation and the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance on Monday, November 4 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm at the Leeway office.
