New from the GIA Reader: Supporting Artists in Community Settings
GIA Reader, Vol. 27, No. 2 (Summer 2016)
In the spring of 2016, GIA hosted a forum of thought leaders to discuss how funders can better support artists working in community settings such as teaching artists and artists working in cross-sector environments. For the summer edition of the GIA Reader, Margaret Hasse summarizes the fruitful conversation from that day, while Eric Booth draws out some of the overarching themes to help envision future action.
