The daunting and serious threat of future disasters is real. Now, a full array of practices, resources, and experts exist to serve the arts field, providing arts organizations with direction, wise counsel, and a helping hand. Presenters from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, ArtsReady, Center for Disaster Philanthropy, and the Performing Arts Readiness project have lived through disasters, funded disaster-responding organizations, and developed expertise in preparedness/response actions. In this invigorating session, participants will gain a deep understanding of four significant resources and their practical applicability to their work and practice: The Disaster Philanthropy Playbook, The Cultural Placekeeping Guide and Artist Resources, Grantmaker Activism Practices, and The Performing Arts Readiness Project, managed by LYRASIS.
