We are offering this opportunity to practitioners in every form of creative expression, however, there is limited availability. We encourage local artists and practitioners from historically disempowered and oppressed communities (women, people of color, veterans, individuals who are disabled, and members of the LGBTQ+ community) to register. Workshops will be offered by Dunamis, a Boston nonprofit focused on providing professional development training for emerging artists of color.
Workshops will be offered virtually. Accommodations for accessibility can be made available upon request (such as closed captions, interpretation, etc.).
