In response to the racial reckoning happening in industries nationwide, Irvington hears from educators, activists, and creators about implementing change to create more inclusive, equitable, and diverse artistic spaces. Presented as part of In Our Own Words, our series that brings issues of social justice center stage through art and conversation.

Through a series of thoughtful (and at times incredibly personal) video segments, Inspiring Inclusion in the Arts will center ideas, perspectives, and voices that have been historically marginalized. The event will cover a range of timely topics including the responsibility of artists, the importance of investing in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, and the power of representation.

As featured in The Hudson Independent, The Rivertowns Enterprise, Yonkers Times, ArtsWestchester, and BroadwayWorld
