SUMMARY:The Big We: A Creative Convening
DESCRIPTION:Austin’s creative community has experienced a perfect storm of reductions or delays in Federal\, State\, and City funding; a lack of performance\, rehearsal\, and studio space; and little civic infrastructure to provide a safety net for artists\, performers\, and arts organizations when hard times fall. More than a few arts spaces and institutions have closed\, some as old as 35 years\, while arts organizations “hunker down” into silos\, to keep producing their work on less while protecting what little they have. \nAfter years of increasingly hard times\, a group of ten Austin arts leaders from all genres began gathering informally to discuss how to manifest a more cohesive community among creatives. They asked\, “How can we work together on a purpose greater than our differences?” “How can we create a meeting space that is expansive enough to encompass divergent opinions but focus on solutions that we create for ourselves?” The Creative Congress was born. \nWith the facilitation and sponsorship of A3 Art Alliance Austin\, (a newly formed Local Arts Agency) they developed a plan to host a city-wide convening of artists\, musicians\, performers and others in the creative community to develop a more cohesive artistic community for the purposes of networking resources\, opportunities\, spaces and expertise; for creating solutions to our creative community’s issues through collaboration; and to gather plans\, collaborative groups and leaders to create a self-defining Community Arts Plan. \nWHO IS INVITED \nALL Austin-area artists\, musicians\, performers of all types\, writers\, electronic media artists\, arts administrators\, curators\, technicians\, board members\, and philanthropists. \nGOAL \nFostering collaboration between different sectors of Austin’s creative community\, the convening will emphasize the importance of purposeful cross-pollination across art forms\, networks\, and cultural arts organizations to chart a self-defined course for our creative community. \n  \nITINERARY \nFriday\, March 27 \n12:00pm THE BIG WE Convening Box Luncheon featuring “flash” keynote speakers from the creative community\, each of whom has done something extraordinary to change the status quo \n1:15pm Training sessions with Shana Merlin on “Open Space Technology” and Karen LaShelle\, Executive Director of Austin Together on “The Art of Collaboration” \n2:30pm Break \n3:00pm Open Space Technology: “Pitch Sessions” \n3:30pm-4:30pm Community Discussions – Session I \n4:30pm-5:30pm Wrap-up Session \n5:30pm Break \n6:00pm Networking Mixer with dinner\, music\, beverages \n8:00pm The Big We video + 3 more “flash” keynote speakers.

SUMMARY:AARC: An Evening With Tones
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to spend An Evening with Tones at the Asian American Resource Center on Thursday\, February 5 from 7 to 9pm! This event is a cozy and casual night of original music and poetry and will feature a reading by Phoebe Murphy\, musical performances by guest rooms and Albeit the Maze\, plus a short Q&A with the evening’s creatives. \nAn Evening with Tones will showcase Austin-based AAPI creatives in a small\, intimate environment (similar to a listening room)\, putting the spotlight on their talent and ability to share worlds through their art. Through this experience\, we hope that attendees and featured creatives can exchange dialogue\, feedback\, appreciation\, and ideas in a candid\, sincere\, and supportive way. \nArtist Bios: \nPhoebe Murphy is a Chinese-American writer of literary and speculative fiction. Born in China and raised in Houston\, Texas\, she is an MFA candidate at Texas State University. Her work has been featured in Nocturne Magazine and Chthonic Matter\, and she is currently at work on a novel. \nAs guest rooms\, Persian-Texan Mason Parva explores the possibility of paradox. Classic songcraft coexists with ambient textures and field recordings to create a sound that is at once intimate and vast\, reverent and irreverent\, familiar and otherworldly. Lyrically\, Parva explores themes of love\, creation\, myth\, truth\, and ultimate reality. Each song is a quiet portal into the self\, inviting one to look directly at their parts that contradict yet harmonize. \nAlbeit the Maze\, also known as June Nguyen\, is a transfeminine Vietnamese American singer-songwriter based in Austin\, Texas. Pulling from musical inspirations such as Radiohead\, Fleet Foxes\, St. Vincent\, and The National\, June writes acoustic-forward songs that aim to impart a sense of longing. Her debut release\, Victim of a Threat EP\, explores topics such as masculinity\, loneliness\, repression\, and abandonment through the lens of a trans woman born and raised in Texas by Catholic immigrant parents. \nThis event is free\, all ages\, and open to the public. Light snax will be provided. Registration is encouraged. RSVP | An Evening with Tones
