Join the Alliance of Artists Communities (AAC) for our upcoming #ResidenciesConnect conversation, "Artist Communities + Civic Engagement," on Thursday, October 15, 3-4:15 PM EST.
What role should artist communities play in getting out the vote and supporting civic engagement? How can we leverage our networks and resources to back artists and organizers effecting change? This conversation will explore practices that organizations and individuals can cultivate for meaningful engagement now and far beyond the election.

- Elizabeth Jabar, printmaker and Director of Civic Engagement and Community Partnerships at Colby College
