Vol. 51: Grants Ahead + Big News: Bustling Spaces Takes the Stage at One State!

We have a very special Artist Feature for this newsletter, along with some exciting news! 

Bustling Spaces submitted a proposal to present at the One State in the Arts & Humanities Conference in Champaign, IL from Nov. 5 - 7, and our proposal was selected!  The theme for this year is “Meeting the Moment,” and all presenters have been asked to explore what the current moment asks of us — and what we can build together through the humanities and the arts. We proposed a session to highlight the work of local, artist-led organizations supporting their fellow creatives in impactful ways through creating and sharing opportunities, creating infrastructure, engaging in dynamic collaborations, and more, and our session was selected!

Meet our guest speakers for “Meeting the Moment: Artists Supporting Artists” at One State!
