To help our members lean into community, and to best support collaboration and knowledge- sharing, A.R.T./New York hosts bi-annual in-person gatherings consisting of panel discussions, workshops, networking opportunities, and socializing. These multi-day events are an opportunity for collective learning, relationship building, and solution sharing.
A.R.T./New york hosts multi-day in-person gatherings because as theatremakers, we know the energy that happens “in the room” and the value we all get from spending time learning from one another in shared space. Community Forums are important opportunities for theatremakers to learn from their peers, exchange ideas and resources, and strengthen their professional network and support systems.
