CALLING ALL ARTISTS WORKING FOR SOCIAL CHANGE:

The U.S. Department of Arts and Culture* invites you to come mix, meet, mingle, share, and help spark a grassroots movement that harnesses the power of art and culture to cultivate empathy, equity, and social change!

If you’re working on a creative project aimed at making the world a more just and sustainable place, come share it at the USDAC Café at Bowery Poetry on Saturday April, 26th. Last day of the series! Set up a table. Hold “office hours.” Make connections. Find collaborators.

The afternoon will feature pop-up performances, a barter board, break-out conversations, and a Project Open Mic. Lots of possibility; no panel.
