Audience Vs. Community: What Are You Building?

Feedback form is now closed.

PLEASE PROVIDE MORE FEEDBACK...

Larry Ossei-Mensah will lead a conversation examining notions of audience and community, terms that are often used interchangeably yet hold meaningful differences. Participants will differentiate between the terms, discussing how they identify and sustain each one. Discussion will explore strategies, tools, and goals related to exposure, inclusion, participation, engagement, and expansion. Emphasis will be placed on how these approaches can be applied to an artist’s studio, grassroots organizations, and institutions.
