Summary:

Attendees at Open Dialogue IX began the process of crafting future arts policy for people of color in the arts.

Abstract: Open Dialogue IX brought together more than 100 arts and cultural leaders of color and their supporters from around the nation in San Jose, CA (July 18-20, 2003). The purpose of the convening was to gather workers of color in the arts to meet, network, and discuss issues of cultural diversity in the arts accross the nation. The various session subjects were developed through the Open Space Technology (OST) process at the beginning of the Dialogue. Lucille Dabney & Associates conducted the OST process and compiled this report. Session subjects were selected by the participants. Next a meeting of the session was scheduled for the participants to discuss and organize a strategy, plan or recommendation. The TAAC board will review the material and make recommendations on possible next steps. The following is a list of sessions and the convener of the session.
