Dividing the Pie: Equitable Approaches to Pay in Art Organizations

EVENT DESCRIPTION

A webinar on equitable compensation strategies for anyone working in the arts. Featuring case studies from the Sustainable Economies Law Center, presented by Alejandra Cruz, Erika Sato, Hope Williams, & Alex Sanchez. Presented by Bridge Live Arts’ "Money in the Arts: Pathways to Equity" series.

Let’s talk tactics: how do arts organizations in search of alternatives to racialized capitalism equitably compensate their employees? In this webinar, we’re sharing out what Sustainable Economies Law Center has learned in its compensation journey from offering flat salaries to more creative pathways in the vein of BIPOC reparations. We hope you’ll join us in this practical breakdown of the tips, tricks, and lessons regarding equitable compensation that we’ve learned along the way.

As artists and art professionals, we don’t come together enough to talk about money. Bridge Live Arts’ upcoming series  Money in the Arts: Pathways to Equity aims to change that. The series will offer practices and conversations where we, as a community dedicated to the advancement of equity in our field, can address some of the deeper causes getting in the way of collective financial empowerment. Inside supportive environments, you will explore restrictions and possibilities for the voice from the lens of embodiment and mindset.  Attendees interested in reparations and equitable compensation will also learn tactics for making decisions around pay and budgeting.
