Like many of you, we’ve been wondering what is within our unique capacity to respond to COVID-19. Like many of you, we've been inspired by the myriad ways that artists and creative interlopers have rallied to meet the needs of their communities.
Informed by our many conversations with advisors, friends, and YOU, we’re so excited to launch The People’s WPA! Over the course of Fall and Winter, 2020 we'll be embarking on a listening, learning and storytelling project with the goal of convincing policymakers to invest in arts, culture-making and newly reimagined sectors of labor critical to our collective healing and survival. Are you or someone you know working to build a more just, equitable and sustainable world through an existing project? If so, let us know about it and join us in crafting The People’s WPA!
Please nominate yourself or someone you know to be part of the inaugural People’s WPA cohort by September 25, 2020. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION, or visit usdac.us/peopleswpa.
