with an outreach component that promotes inclusion and equitable access to the arts;
with a focus on delivering cultural services to underserved populations and/or under-resourced neighborhoods;
that have the potential to generate tourism;
that are particularly sensitive to the needs of indigenous cultural activities;
that are encouraging the preservation of heritage, traditions and culture: and,
where social service organizations and cultural groups are developing collaborative intervention projects using the arts.
There will be an interactive Q & A session following the workshop presentation. Questions will be addressed in English, Spanish, or Haitian Creole. ADA/accessible accommodations are available.
