Creative Time

Respond. Dismantle. Develop. Implement. Now seeking expressions of interest to join our first Think Tank cohort

September 15th, 2020

During this catalytic moment, Creative Time is compelled to try something new. Creative Time is forming a non-sited group of boundary-pushing thinkers, each bringing distinct and varying perspectives from the fields of art, organizing, theory, and cultural production to think and imagine together over the course of 10 months. Adapting the “think tank” model, the cohort will cycle through phases of assessment, brainstorming, planning, sharing, and implementing that explore new methodologies to dismantle exclusionary and colonialist modes of artistic creation and presentation.

HOW DO WE DEVELOP ACTIONABLE WAYS OF
REALIZING THE CRITICAL SHIFTS NECESSARY FOR
A TRULY EQUITABLE CULTURAL SECTOR?

Initiated in response to the long overdue discussion and action addressing inequity and systemic racism in our communities and the pandemic gripping our nation, this intervention builds upon the Creative Time Summit’s legacy of centering the voice of artists and other creative contributors in the development of strategies for social change.
While the group will shape and define itself as it forms, it will be anchored by a principle aim to develop direct ways to create the critical shifts required to build equitable and sustainable approaches to cultural production. Cohort members are compensated and will have access to administrative resources, production support, and the Creative Time network.
 
Welcoming referrals, thoughts, and suggestions from Creative Time’s network and beyond, Creative Time seeks participants that are committed to stewarding change and engaging with structures of institutional critique, reform, and creativity. Open call proposals will be accepted via Submittable. More information and details on applications can be found on here.
