Emergence Symposium: Art & Equity Leading Social Change

WHAT IS EMERGENCE?

Led by Neighbourhood Arts Network, Emergence is a series of workshops, panels and offerings that brings people together to learn and discuss key issues facing the arts sector.

Since its inception in 2011, Emergence has convened hundreds of artists and arts workers*, community leaders, and policy makers to exchange knowledge around the theme of Arts & Equity: Leading Social Change. This large-scale multi-day platform is built on issues that Neighbourhood Arts Network and our partners have explored through their work. Centred in all of this, is equity.

*Arts workers include arts administrators, arts educators, arts facilitators, art therapists, and other people using art to strengthen community health and relationships.
