Join Minnesota Citizens for the Arts’ Executive Director Sarah Fossen for a thought-provoking conversation with Jamie Bennett, one of the nation’s leading voices at the intersection of arts, culture, and public policy. They will explore how art doesn’t simply reflect society—it can shape public policy, strengthen civic life, and influence how communities respond during moments of profound change.
