Segment from These are Times mural by Ayo Scott at Plessy Park. This is the site where in 1892 Homer Plessy sat in a whites only train car initiating the historic Plessy v Ferguson court case. The second photo shows a flag created by artist Odili Donald Odita for Prospect.4 in 2017 to commemorate Plessy’s legacy of determined courage. . . . . #thesearetimes @ayoscott @thenoccainstitute #blacklivesmatter #neworleans #nolalove #louisiana #nola #crescentcity #bywaternola #streetphotography #pressstreet #onlyinnola #nolaculture #nolaart #plessyvferguson #neworleansart #murals #civilrights #civildisobedience (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBHIU60Dn8s/?igshid=1vh2pe13m09f0

Strategies of Sustainability Panel

Small arts organizations are always dealing with challenges of sustainability and growth. With consistently dwindling public funding and sometimes challenging private foundation support, it is important for independent organizers to think outside of the traditional modes of support for the arts and re-imagine the possibilities of healthy arts eco-systems that encourage collaboration and support. Panelists will focus on the pragmatic issues of fundraising, volunteerism, and community involvement, while also considering how their histories are intimately connected to these issues.
