Join Bridge Live Arts (B.L.A.) for a night of community-centered dialogue and celebration!

In response to shifting funding priorities, the ongoing economic impact of COVID-19, and increased interest in collectively-led organizations, Bridge Live Arts invites you to the table for an interactive, horizontally-led conservation on re-imagining business models in the arts. Engage with experts and peers in the field on how to navigate financial infrastructure as an individual, partnership, or incorporated entity through a long table discussion format with opportunities for dynamic participation and reflection.*

Following the discussion, celebrate with artists in the community to welcome our newest Community Engagement Residency artists, ainsley e. tharp & gizeh muñiz vengel, and Andrea Rodriguez. All past & current CER artists are highly encouraged to attend!

Small bites and refreshments, including vegan options, from Señor Sisig will be provided . This event is FREE and open to the public. Anchor participants for the long table will be announced soon.

Please reach out to admin@bridgelivearts.org for any access requests we may be able to offer.

*We are adapting the long table format from theater artists Split Britches.
