(7/13) We’ve heard a lot about “the new normal.” But Dr. Doug Noonan argues while our situation is new, it is not normal. He’ll walk students through a discussion about artists, the creative sector, and innovation post-pandemic. #ONeillPandemicPerspectives #AEILab @ccaoneill

(8/13) The arts sector has had to make big adjustments to cope with the reality of #COVID19. Dr. Doug Noonan will lead students through a discussion about artists, the creative sector, and innovation post-pandemic. Register by 7/5. #ONeillPandemicPerspectives #AEILab @ccaoneill

How will COVID-19 impact the arts? O'Neill's Doug Noonan used his work with our Arts, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation Lab (AEI) to look how more organizations may start using online engagement as a result of the coronavirus. #AEILab #COVID19

Really happy to share this article that was just published in Journal of Cultural Economics -- speculative strategies of economies of scope + risk-pooling in artists incubators. https://t.co/2OwL26l21v Thanks @TheWillToms @estherbrobinson #AEILab Joanna Woronkowicz @ONeill_Indy

The #AEILab within @ccaoneill is hosting a data visualization contest for students to integrate data from Creatives Rebuild New York that focuses on applicants/enrollees of CRNY's Guaranteed Income and Artist Employment programs. Learn more & register via: https://t.co/pnnFldrwA9

#AEILab co-director Doug Noonan describes a theme we saw throughout today: artists at the at the forefront of these shifting systems, and as agents of change. #ArtsInequities

Artist-in-residence programs allow groups that don’t typically include artists’ input to incorporate their work. But including artists can go beyond public art displays. Learn how they impact civic innovation problem-solving in the lates #AEILab blog https://t.co/mtp4eLqtrX

Panelists include Tizziana Baldenebro (SPACES Cleveland), Christopher Hibma (Guthrie Theatre), Andrea Price (The Arts Commission), Kamilah Rashied (Court Theatre) & Karla Rivera (Free Street Theatre). #AEILab #ArtsInequities

All working out of the Midwest, these panelists bring together practicing artists/administrators from all edges of the arts & culture sector to delve into the middle ground where data and inequities in the arts meet. #AEILab #ArtsInequities

Michele Elam: optimistic about the conversation happening between students in STEM, humanities, art history, and other artists that she sees in the classroom - beginning to understand the variances in language and bridging communities. #AEILab #ArtsInequities

Also in conversation: how to combat the "cult of urgency" and oppressive practices, to better break down barriers that stand in the way of people enacting their agency. How do we make room for imagining, for connecting? #AEILab #ArtsInequities

Discussion starts w/ reflection on the discourse of art and tech and disruption, & how locality impacts these conversations. They thoughtfully approach who the prior panel was for, & how we can actively listen/actively participate in these movements. #AEILab #ArtsInequities

Laurel Lawson connects these ideas w/ intersection btwn tech, access, & justice (practice deeply rooted in community). Kamilah Rashied notes a need for artists to build understanding w/ administrators, & administrators understanding w/ technologists. #AEILab #ArtsInequities

Panelists discuss issues in funding practices, barriers in applying/receiving from funding organizations, & challenges with access and equity in this sphere. Who is doing the actual education & work to understand & support underserved communities? #AEILab #ArtsInequities

There have been many themes today, including artists creating (and ways of supporting that creation), the challenges of being an artist, building community, destructing & rebuilding institutions and structures, & making space for emerging, radical change. #AEILab #ArtsInequities

We won't end here: we will share today's videos post-event, as well as videos from the June workshop later this year, & the workshopped research papers in upcoming publications. We aim to continue examining the many challenges impacting the arts & artists. #ArtsInequities #AEILab

That conversation has continued today with the #AEILab Virtual Symposium, with our panelists and panels' varied approaches to these questions on #ArtsInequities, and different challenges facing the sector, including the silos present when approaching innovating institutions.

The @ccaoneill and the #AEILab at the O’Neill School brought the creative sector together, virtually, to look toward the ever-evolving future of the arts in a post-#COVID world. Read more about some of the topics in today's #AEIblog. @IUONeillSchool https://t.co/8PATbk2cHy

The second-ever data visualization competition, hosted by @CCAONeill, kicks off on February 12th. Get details and sign up to participate here: https://t.co/1zB1cLh3mk

Keynoter @sydneyskybetter discusses his keynote, a "swearword-riddled tirade against capitalism" & asks what it means for us to leverage our positions in communities to live under, within, & through capitalist entities. #AEILab #ArtsInequities
