WHAT: A conversation about issues of race, diversity, and inclusiveness in Baltimore's arts and culture scene

WHEN: Monday, February 21, 6-7:30 p.m.

WHERE: 2 East Read Street, 8th Floor, Baltimore

WHO: All who attended last month's Create Baltimore session on diversity and inclusiveness; all who are interested in making Baltimore's arts and culture landscape more inclusive, particularly with regard to race.

WHAT TO EXPECT

This is an opportunity to:

• learn about the history and current state of racial and other divisions in Baltimore's artistic and cultural spheres;
• share information about current and planned events and initiatives designed to bridge those divisions;
• brainstorm about ways we can come together to make arts and culture in Baltimore more inclusive.

While there will be a loose program (forthcoming) and the discussion will be moderated, this is meant to be a friendly, civil, and informal conversation.  It is not affiliated with any organization and is not intended to advance any particular agenda.

We shoud not expect to come away from this conversation with definitive solutions -- although if any arise, so much the better!  This is simply a chance to listen to and learn from each other.  All points of view are welcome.  The only prerequisites are open ears and an open mind.
