ArtsKC "Cultural Competency" workshops with Dr. Dorris Carroll

The Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City and Dr. Doris Carroll, Associate Professor at Kansas State University, invite you to attend a series of three, four-hour, three and a half hour workshops for the purpose of increasing cultural competency for Kansas City area artists, leaders, and arts organizations' staff, board, volunteers and interns.

Last year over 40 individuals from the Kansas City community attended. Participants discussed issues of privilege, board and audience attendance, and identified strategies to strengthen neighborhood arts development. It is the Arts Council's goal through these workshops to encourage arts organizations to capitalize not only on their own cultural strengths as organizations but to embrace the cultural strengths of those around them as well. When organizations embrace diversity, they open their doors to more people and a broader audience.

Sign up today to attend one or all of our three Cultural Competency workshops offered this Winter & Spring of 2012. Space is limited on a first come, first serve basis.
