As the country reemerges and rebuilds from the pandemic, 2021 can be a moment of hope for everyone and a chance to share our art in all the ways we have missed. For the arts and culture sector, it will also be a year of navigating reopening challenges and continuing momentum in the fight for racial equity. The 2021 Annual Convention is our opportunity to gather and reimagine our creative field and communities.
