This is the first of three Arts Labs this year, to facilitate the conversations about youth arts as recommended in the Creative Capital Gains Report.  Our goal with the Arts Labs is to ensure that you leave with more tools and capacity for your work than when you arrived, with additional tools and lessons learned from each lab shared through the Arts Lab Report presented at the end of the year (see the attached invitation for details).

 As you know, many of us have talked about the importance of coming together to share and discuss the work we are engaged in to build youth entrepreneurship, careers and businesses through the arts in underserved communities across the city.

 The first Arts Lab seeks to start that conversation by bringing together key arts organizations and individuals that are supporting and promoting youth arts businesses and entrepreneurship with the goal of creating a stronger sector.
