Neighborhood networks have always been at the heart of disaster relief. Just ask the innovators at ioby.org, who specialize in providing technical assistance, support, and a legal financial structure for community volunteers who crowdsource funding under a variety of circumstances. At the onset of quarantine, the non-profit organization stepped up with additional support for projects that specifically responded to the pandemic, and that included creative placemaking initiatives to care for artists and commission art that communicates public health messages. Leaders will talk about how they care for artists and their communities during this crisis.
Join a stimulating ZOOM discussion with creative innovators who are shifting their focus during the pandemic to help their communities recover, heal, and become more resilient.
