6°: Support for Coalitions / Coalitions for Support
Saturday, September 19, 2020 4:00pm - 5:00pm Free
6° : Support for Coalitions / Coalitions for Support presented by ICA LA
In Los Angeles, the coalition model works effectively in more ways than one. L.A.-based coalitions help create proximity among organizations and individuals within a sprawling geographic area. They also help affirm the presence of often overlooked cultural forces across different creative sectors. This session can be experienced as an audio recording. Turn it on and listen to interviews with leaders of recently formed coalitions in our city that specifically focus on obtaining financial support for individuals and small arts organizations. In this session, we’ll hear about the urgency and strategies behind forming a coalition so that, in alliance, unheard voices in the cultural choir are heard.
A suggested exercise while listening would be to create a list of ideas or a record of thoughts about the topic. If you would like, email your document to learning@theicala.org. The discussion can continue after the active 6° session ends.
