Partner Program | The Convening: Women in Art

June 7-12, 2021 

The Convening is a week-long virtual leadership conference founded by Sheri Pasquerella of SLP The Class + SLP Women’s Group, and Lauren Jackson Harris & Daricia Mia DeMarr of Black Women in Visual Art. Presented in collaboration with ArtTable and inaugurating in June 2021, the gathering will provide tools, education, and mentorship for women of all ages working in the visual arts ecosystem. We will unite more than 300 female visionaries from across the country and convene around the question: How can we lead real change in 2021?

For 5 Days, The Convening will present daily programming on a rotating schedule designed to encourage equity and growth in the arts, including Morning Meditations, Afternoon Workshops, and Evening Panel Discussions. All these programs are leading up to The Great Convening on Friday and Saturday. During these gatherings, 10 inspiring women will lead small groups & mentor-based sessions of 10-15 people to brainstorm and consider the question: How can we lead real change? Each circle is tasked with coming up with 1-2 actions that they can commit to. The group will nominate a ‘presenter’ to share the ideas & actions during Saturday’s The Great Convening.
