Program Description
The DCA E-Dinner Series for Creative Workers Exchange, in partnership with Arts for LA, is an opportunity for the local arts and cultural community to build networks through listening, learning, and exchanging insights.
This inaugural E-Dinner Series for Creative Workers Exchange is composed of ten cohorts, whose themes are listed as follows: Art Therapists; Creative Career Pathways; Entertainment Industry Writers of Color; LGBTQ+ Arts Leaders and Managers; Los Angeles Choreographers; Museum and Gallery Workers; Outdoor Festival Producers; Performing Arts Leaders and Managers; South LA Artists and Artworks; and Youth Media Jobs.
These evening exchanges offer opportunities for attendees to ask questions, share comments or recommendations, and interact at the end of the sessions. If interested, local artists and arts workers are welcome and encouraged to join multiple cohorts throughout the course of the series.
These meetings (starting at or after 7:00 p.m. PST) are virtual and held on regular intervals (monthly or biweekly) to encourage consistent enrollment, continuous participation, and evolving benefits.
