We’re still carrying the energy from this gathering. 💛
At a significant moment for the arts, the Bay Area Arts & Culture Collaboration Summit affirmed the power of artists and culture workers and planted seeds for collaboration. Visionaries from across the sector shared their models, bright spots, challenges, and aspirations—weaving together a collective story. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of walking together at this moment, within a movement. Intersection's Executive Director, Yesenia Sanchez, presented on Fiscal Sponsorship as a shared economy business model for the arts that increases the potential for diversity, equity, collaboration, and support during these turbulent times.
Deep gratitude to the brilliant speakers for generously sharing their vision and expertise: Kristen Jacobson, Anne Huang, Olivia Malabuyo Tablante, Rebecca Fitton, Gabrielle Christian, David Blazevich, Shafer Mazow, Kevin Nelson, Sarah Williams, Charlotte Wheeler, Meghan Crosby-Jolliffe, Margot Melcon, Anna Shneiderman, Zakiya Harris, Cristine Kelly, Esailama Artry-Diouf, BK Williams, Rashida Chase, Liz O’Malley, Lori Fogarty, JK Fowler, and Julie Baker.
And thank you to for hosting us and holding space for connection and possibility.
We’re excited to keep building—together.
