Art of Justice 6 seeks to address the cultural and art issues that are challenging community-based organizations and the field in general. In an atmosphere where racial, religious free press and creative expressions are at risk it is necessary to understand the survival realities that will impact the field. What does the updated funding statistics say? What is the role of the cultural plan process during this period? What is the response of the field?
Join us for an interactive discussion with experts in the field that are working on these issues and will address the needs and actions that are important to the most vulnerable artists and community-based organizations.

CCCADI founder, Dr. Marta Moreno Vega, says,"eliminating the NEA will disproportionately hurt Communities of Color" in Artsy op-ed. "Beyond the financial implications, eliminating the NEA would exact a symbolic toll. Trump’s budget proposal clearly outlines, in his view, what aspects of human experience are worthy of our taxpayer dollars—war, yes; art, no. It also seeks to define who gets to speak, who has the right to culture, and who has a license to creativity. It silences and de-values many of the individuals that have built this nation."
