ARTIST TALK WITH ASAMBLEA
Artists, Creatives & Culture Workers: Join the Conversation
Saturday, October 24, 5-6:30pm
This 90-minute conversation is part of Creative Sonoma’s Arts & Culture Benchmark Study where we’ll create space for artists and creative workers to share their experiences, perspectives, challenges, and hopes for creative life in Sonoma County, while exploring the conditions that influence future funding, policy, and support for the creative community.
The group will be intentionally small, with 15–20 participants, so everyone has an opportunity to participate and be heard.
As a thank you for your time, each participant will receive a $25 gift card, along with tea and a bite to eat.
