These meetings will be at noon, on the first Monday of the month for as long as needed.

The next scheduled meeting is July 6th; noon to 1:30 pm (and we’ll keep the zoom open until 2 in case the conversation runs over.)

Some things to keep in mind…
We have the capacity to include up to 100 participants. YOU are invited, welcome, and we need YOU.
We will not have an agenda (other than to meet all together — individuals, organizations, visual, performing, for-profit, cooperative, nonprofit, etc. — for the first half hour) because our objective is only to provide an open forum, but we do have the capacity to use break-out rooms for more targeted discussions. The meeting on July 6th will include a break-out room for Performing Arts Organizations to discuss reopening to live audiences and classes for youth. Please email me if you would like to request other break-out topics.

Generally speaking, these are our objectives:
• We will deepen our connections to each other and forge new ones;
• We will share all ideas related to arts recovery, resilience, survival, and reinvention with each other in the hopes that some of these ideas will gather momentum and support;
• We will work together to dismantle systemic racism in Mendocino County recognizing that this work is past due;
• We will keep the agenda open to new ideas and needs of the community as they arise.

The Arts Council of Mendocino County would like to carry forward a practice of recognizing the original caretakers of these Sacred Lands within and throughout Mendocino County. We acknowledge their stewardship of these lands and uplift their legacies as they continue to build and sustain their culture and practices today and for seven generations. We acknowledge and offer gratitude to these indigenous ancestors, and present-day relations of the Cahto, Pomo, Yuki, Maidu, Miwok, Nomlaki, Wailaki, and Pit River peoples.
