Black, Indigenous, and People of Color are invited to share their perspective on the arts and cultural community in Central Florida at one of three “Brain Trust Exchanges” organized by the new “Diversity & Inclusion Committee” of the Orange County Arts and Cultural Affairs Advisory Council.  This Committee will be dedicated to developing and implementing strategies to increase equal access to funding opportunities to underserved arts organizations led by people of color, and focus on the issue of under-representation of diverse groups in the Central Florida arts community.  
 
They are interested in hearing the perspective of visual and performing artists, leadership and staff at our arts organizations, their board members, and community members of color.

The members of the Diversity & Inclusion Committee are: Samí Haiman-Marrero, Chair; Cesar Abueg; Cecelia Bonifay; Julie Coleman; Gwen Covington; Betsy Gwinn; Federico Hollander; RK Kelley; Zep Lawrence; Mitzi Maxwell; Donna Morton Morgan; N.Y. Nathiri; Shelby Norwich; Dr. Chung Park; George Rodon; Maria Saavedra; Rafael Torres
