Subject: Reminder: Tucson Town Hall ans Survey
For Immediate Release 07/24/20
TUCSON PERFORMING ARTS TOWN HALL
ON DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2020 at 6:00pm
There will be a virtual Town Hall with the goal to create a more inviting and equitable experience for all our local and visiting artists.
Experiences that local artists have had in relationship to racial bias will be addressed, followed by a discussion of action plans that many of our local performing arts leaders are proposing for their own organizations around topics specific, but not exclusive, to the performing arts.
We wanted to remind our Performing Arts Community to please engage with this anonymous survey linked here (before July 31st if possible).
We have already received several testimonials and are incredibly grateful to those of you who have been willing to share your unnecessarily painful experiences. Truly, thank you.
We also wanted to acknowledge that all artists, no matter your ethnicity, might have encountered or witnessed behavior that could have roots in racial bias, AND that encountering or witnessing moments of allyship are equally as valuable to this process – we appreciate them all.
We are all at different stages of understanding our own inherent biases, but as a community, and only as a community, we can and will work towards being inclusive, equitable, and above all, anti-racist.
We invite you, artists from all walks, patrons of the arts, and anyone else in the community who wants to witness and support this movement to attend the September 14th Town Hall.
A precise web address to join the event will be released closer to the Town Hall date, so please keep an eye out!
Thank you,
Tucson Performing Artists for Change
