Racial Equity Progress Report (Jan – Mar ’24)
A regular update on our anti-racism work
Cathy Cheng-Anderson, Senior Director of Business Operations
Mass Cultural Council, in partnership with Arts Connect International (ACI) and HipStory, is excited to announce the Summer 2023 Cohort of the Cultural Equity Learning Community (CELC). This two-unit, 12 session, asynchronous anti-racism course with wrap-around supports, is open to arts and culture leaders committed to building intersectional racial equity.
CELC participants will have the opportunity to delve deep into understanding the pervasiveness of systemic injustices, their manifestation in daily life, and how they disproportionately impact different communities. The goal is not only to build awareness and understanding but also to equip participants with knowledge and tools to actively engage in dismantling these systems of injustice in their respective organizations.
Mass Cultural Council has proudly supported this learning endeavor since its launch in 2021. Our goal is to provide tuition for a total of 500 Massachusetts cultural workers to participate in the training.
Registration for the Summer 2023 Cohort is open until July 19. The sessions run from August 1, 2023 – January 31, 2024.
