The program will then be available on CCAR's website and social media via CCAR's YouTube channel. Directors of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. will speak in dialogue and moderate a panel of artists and stakeholders in discussions that explore current and relevant issues in the arts:  

  • Where Are We?   
  • What are our Responsibilities?   
  • Where do we go from here?   

The goal is to generate a robust discussion that engages stakeholders from diverse communities: artists, arts leaders, etc., about the challenges and opportunities that can affect best practices.   

  • Kaywin Feldman   Director of National Gallery of Art Washington D.C. 

  • Sasha Suda George D. Widener   Director and CEO of the Philadelphia Museum of Art 

  • Dawoud Bey   Artist from Chicago, IL 

  • Darren Walker   President of Ford Foundation New York, NY 

  • Lisa Hageman Yahgulanaas   Artist from Haida Gwaii, British Columbia 

OCAD U and CCAR kindly ask for your feedback after participating. A survey will follow after the viewing party.  

If there are specific topics you would like to be included in the conversation. Please email: madgeyao@ocadu.ca by Friday noon. OCAD U will hand it to the panellist for their consideration.
