Building an Equitable Arts Infrastructure Symposium

The Equitable Arts Infrastructure Research Group and The University of Texas at Austin College of Fine Arts are hosting a national symposium focused on the enduring challenge of cultural, economic and racial equity in the nation’s performing arts sector. Over two days, through conversations with cultural professionals and humanities scholars, this convening will address gaps in understanding about how performing artists in the U.S. work and how their work is supported systemically. By defining, theorizing and historicizing new methods and approaches to an equitable arts infrastructure, this symposium will create a foundation for new understandings of how educational institutions and cultural professionals can support each other. Speakers at this symposium include Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME-01), the co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Arts Caucus, Maria Rosario Jackson, the former chair of the NEA (2021-2025), and a host of industry leaders and arts researchers.
