THE INVITATION: for artists who have considered change when the stage isn't enuf

A public civic gathering in New York City in advance of the mayor's first 100 Days in office.  At a pivotal moment of transition and real possibility, we’re convening artists, organizers, policy leaders, and directly impacted community members for an evening of dialogue and collective response. The program will feature a moderated conversation with members of the mayoral transition team alongside shared artistic offerings. 

This is a room for artists ready to find their lane beyond performance — to align with organizers, policy leaders, and directly impacted community members in shaping a future rooted in justice, care, and accountability.
