FROM TODAY'S ARTSJOURNAL BLOGS
The Pursuit of Equity 

The intent is to overcome the very real danger that the nonprofit arts industry’s “equity statements” could easily become like the “thoughts and prayers” responses to mass shootings — worthy sentiments that lead nowhere. Without “feet to the fire” targets of some kind it’s too easy to slide into the comfort of the status quo. – Doug Borwick

 


Jazmin Morales Talks About Being an “Intrapreneur” 

The Assistant Director of the Colburn School’s Center for Innovation and Community Impact shares the impact of Colburn’s EDI initiatives and strategies on being an “intrapreneur.” – Aaron Dworkin
