Meeting the Moment: Power and Possibility While Holding Ground in the Arts A conversation on creative resilience, resources, and renewal

Creative communities are navigating a time of transformation—cultural, economic, and structural.

This gathering invites artists, legal advocates, and cultural innovators into conversation about how we continue to build, adapt, and thrive while staying grounded in our values and vision. At the heart of this event is a shared belief: creatives represent a powerful cultural and economic force—one that continually demonstrates resilience, imagination, and leadership in times of change. Together, we’ll explore the evolving landscape of creative work and the tools, networks, and strategies that can help sustain it.

Hosted by the Connecticut Office of the Arts, Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, and MOC Innovations, this is an invitation to reflect, connect, and build toward creative futures that are flexible, collaborative, and full of possibility.

When: April 30th, 6:00–7:30 PM

Where: Yale Ventures Offices – 101 College Street, 2nd Floor 

Who’s Invited: Artists, creatives, lawyers, cultural workers, nonprofit leaders, board members, community organizers, and anyone helping shape a vibrant creative future.

Come for the conversation. Stay for the connections.
