ArtPride believes in the importance of providing the knowledge and tools necessary to advance our industry while making networking opportunities available to our members, community leaders, and the creative sector. We hope you'll join us at one of the upcoming professional development events we either produce or partner with other organizations to make available to the field.
ArtPride Annual Membership Meeting
ArtPride’s first membership meeting in several years comes at a crucial time.
Public arts funding is at a critical crossroads. In times of uncertainty and division, it’s important to remember that the arts bring people together. This meeting will gather arts professionals, advocates, and leaders from our nearly 200 member organizations at the Avenel Performing Arts Center. A shining example of creative placemaking, APAC is the perfect location to highlight the connection between the arts and economic development.
