Arts Advocacy Strategies and Practices: COVID and Beyond

The U.S. is navigating a complex leadership transition that will likely invite unprecedented political challenges. What strategic position do we envision for the live arts and entertainment industry in 2021 and beyond?

Given the opportunities as well as the needs created by the current crisis, we will need to strengthen our advocacy muscle and develop new effective approaches. What have we learned from new tactics and alliances forged during this crisis? And where might we draw inspiration for re-imagining our collective power and influence to secure the investment required for our sector and our communities to recover and thrive?

Join colleagues, lobbyists, advocacy all-stars and representatives from the Biden Arts Transition team to explore our potential and suggest new paradigms to support all sectors of the presenting, booking, and touring field for local, regional and national impact.
