Models for Community Curation

Presented at A New HOPE (2022), July 23, 2022, 4:30 p.m. (50 minutes)

How can we build local networks that curate, support, and incubate arts and creativity? What funding models exist to help us do so? What are the technical tools that we can utilize to make more community arts networks possible? What innovations can allow such networks to form and flourish? In this workshop, you will learn new ways to organize around community curation, from the traditional (grants and donations, fiscal sponsorship) to the experimental (NFTs and collective actions). Artists, creatives, writers, nonprofits, academics, and arts organizations should bring ideas for practical and/or radical ways to support, organize, fund, and fundraise.
