Creative Workers Exchange
The E-Dinner Series for Creative Workers Exchange pilot program is a partnership between the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs and Arts for LA. This program is an opportunity for the local arts and culture community to build networks through listening, learning, and exchanging insights.
This inaugural program is composed of 10 cohorts all listed below. These evening conversations are free and open to the public and offer opportunities for attendees to ask questions, share comments or recommendations, and interact with one another. Community members, arts & culture professionals, local artists and arts workers are welcome and encouraged to join multiple sessions across the program.
