 On Sunday, May 21st, Emergence 2017: Whole Person, Whole Impact — presented by Emerging Arts Professionals San Francisco/Bay Area and the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco — explored the impact of bringing our whole selves into our work and out into our community. It was a day of collaboration, of chaos, of connection. With about 75 attendees, a dozen projects and breakout sessions, two keynotes, and three graphic recordings, we were honored to share space and unpack some key issues facing the sector right now. These conversations will be on-going, and we look forward to communing with you over the next year to hash out these topics and to build skills and tools together.
We'll be uploading photos of the event, video of the keynotes, and more on the Emergence 2017 page over the next couple weeks, so check back often!
>> And, if you attended the event, please take a moment to fill out this short survey. Thank you! :)

Artists & Admins in Action — part of #ProjectAIM (Allies in Motion)
Home-based political education workshops offered to friend and colleague groups. Participants will come to the space at ease and will leave feeling informed, inspired and rooted in their community of artists and arts administrator networks as they work to put allyship and anti-racism into practice. Project Lead: Jay-Marie J. Hill
Rituals for Removing Creative Blocks offers somatic instructions to solve problems of contemporary creative life and challenge participants to examine indirect and non-monetary driven solutions to everyday problems. The rituals broaden an understanding of creative “results,” “ends and means,” and the idea of a muse / magic as relates to creative labor. Project Leads: Liat Berdugo & Leora Fridman
