Background: Several recent studies shed light on issues of equity and funding for arts organizations of color. The DeVos Institute of Arts Management, the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy, the National Center for Arts Research, and others have all drawn conclusions and offered recommendations to define the problem and suggest solutions. Panelists will lead a discussion and take questions from the audience on funding for arts organizations of color, and connect these reports to current practice and experience of cultural managers and artists.
