Talk: Does Voting Matter? How the Arts Promote Civic Engagement in 2020

About

In a divided political climate, it can be tough for cultural institutions to navigate what their civic engagement should look like, but it matters now more than ever. We’re bringing together a variety of artists to share their perspective on why voting absolutely matters, how their work intersects the civic space, and what our responsibility is to the democracy we live in.
