The National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures (NALAC) is a professional organization that serves the US Latino arts and cultural sector via funding, leadership training, convenings, research, and advocacy. The grant supports NALAC’s first regional workshop in Chicago, an event tailored to the needs and interests of area artists/administrators across disciplines but also designed to promote national connections. Workshop plans and content are informed by a local advisory committee and findings from a survey of Latinx/e arts workers to understand how the convening can add value to the Chicago area, as well as grasp what skills and information are needed and who are the potential speakers from whom respondents want to learn.
