Last week, several members of the P.S. ARTS administrative staff had the opportunity to attend the State of the Arts Summit, an annual gathering hosted by Arts for LA for artists and arts educators to reflect, connect, and rise to action. In this blog post, P.S. ARTS’ Director of Communications and Marketing Gilda Davidian shares her experience at this year’s convening.
I was glad to attend the State of the Arts Summit last week, where arts advocates, community leaders, and culture workers came together for a day of connection and conversation centered on People, Power & Cultural Equity at the beautiful San Gabriel Mission Playhouse. From hearing curator and writer Hamza Walker share his story on the Monuments exhibition at the Geffen last year, to engaging with speakers and panelists exploring arts advocacy, youth voice, disability justice, and the power of community partnerships, the day offered so many opportunities to reflect and connect. I left feeling inspired through the collective energy of connecting with people deeply committed to strengthening our creative communities and expanding access to arts and culture across Los Angeles. Thank you, Arts 4 LA, for a thoughtful and engaging summit!
