Event: Putting Creativity to Work on Impossible Challenges
As part of our ongoing ArtsEngage Learning Community, Ontario Presents is excited to announce our next Spotlight Session!
Putting Creativity to Work on Impossible Challenges
Virtual, free event
Wednesday, January 27th from 2:00 - 4:00pm ET
We are thrilled to welcome award-winning theatre artist Marty Pottenger for a stimulating conversation about the role the arts can play in fostering productive civic dialogues and addressing tough social challenges.
In these times of deepening inequity and polarization, live performance’s unique transformative potential can play a powerful role. Through her organization Art At Work, Marty partners with communities, organizations and municipal governments to put creativity to work addressing non-arts-based challenges like racial discrimination, high staff turnover, labor management tensions, workforce morale, community resilience.
As COVID forces all of us to interrogate our roles in society, we are excited to welcome an artist who has been putting art to work in performances, theatres, festivals, and workshops long before the current pandemic.
Want to hear a bit from Marty in advance? Check out her TEDx talk here!
