Resource Sharing – Hot Topic

On Monday the League will be hosting a discussion on resource sharing. There will be a panel discussion followed by a community brainstorming session. I think this is a starting point for discussions about new models of operating, and new ways of cooperating and sharing. There are a lot of interesting things already beginning to happen. I think that now is the time for us to examine our operating models and look for what could best serve us now and in the future. I know many of you have interesting ideas. Please join us.

The panel will consist of: Lane Alexander, co-founder and director of Chicago Human Rhythm Project was a member of Arts Bridge and is currently working on new resource sharing projects. Suellen Burns, former executive director of Arts Bridge from 1996 to 2000. Arts Bridge was the nation’s first incubator for the arts. Housed at the Atheneum, Arts Bridge served a large number of performing arts organizations. Ivan Sygoda, director of Pentacle in New York. Pentacle provides a wide variety of services to artists and arts organization including grant writing, fiscal administration, and a help desk. Pentacle largely serves the dance community.

The event will take place on Monday, March 23 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the DCA's Storefront Theater, 66 E Randolph. RSVP to ben@chicagoplays.com to attend.
