Offered free of charge by the TRUE Partnership*, our intention to host a future in-person gathering that builds on the relationships and co-learning created during this time of physical distancing.

Working toward equity begins with embracing differences. The arts can help communities overcome resistance, open imaginations toward creative problem-solving, and build empathy among different people in an area. The arts can create a sense of belonging that anchors residents to a place. In this TRUE Tuesdays session, we will hear from two Minnesota artists who have experience using arts for transformation, and from a leading arts organization on how you can start integrating art into your equity work.

* TRUE Partnership is an informal alliance of organizations: Blandin Foundation, Center for Community Vitality U of M Extension, Minnesota Council on Foundations, Minnesota Humanities Center, Region Five Develop-ment Commission, Region Nine Development Commission, Southwest Initiative Foundation, and Voices for Racial Justice, Willmar Area Community Foundation
