The Women in Arts Leadership Symposium will connect UMass and Five College students and alumnae with emerging and professional arts leaders through workshops and network building. By sharing their stories and questions, participants will investigate the particular barriers to women’s leadership in the arts, and forge connections to support the next generation of female-identified arts leaders. Artists, arts managers, professionals, community workers, students, and alumnae of all genders are invited to attend. Together, participants will identify issues and define steps to build a future in which female-identified people lead across all sectors of the arts.

The Women in Arts leadership Symposium is presented by the Arts Extension Service’s Arts Entrepreneurship Initiative, the College of Humanities and Fine Arts, and the HFA Advising and Career Center in partnership with UMass Women, Gender, Sexuality Studies and Women of Color Leadership Network. WALS is funded by Women for UMass Amherst and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
