Yolanda Wisher, citizen artist, and the Germantown Artists Roundtable invite you to please join us for coffee, mimosas, biscuits, and revolutionary creative collaboration on Sunday, September 13th, 2015 from 10am-12pm at Franny Lou’s Porch, 2400 Coral Street, Philadelphia, PA 19125 to help launch the Philadelphia Field Office of the US Arts & Culture.

The U.S. Department of Arts and Culture (not an actual federal entity) is a national network of artists and cultural workers mobilizing creativity for social justice. Field Offices are local chapters of the USDAC committed to values like:

Culture is a human right.
Culture is created by everyone.
The work of artists is a powerful resource for community development, education, healthcare, protection of our commonwealth, and other democratic public purposes.
We want the Philadelphia Field Office to reflect these values but also the homegrown and ever-evolving spirit of Philly’s arts and culture scene.

To power-up for our discussion, we invite you to do the following before the 13th:
Read about the USDAC & watch an introductory video at http://usdac.us/about/: This will give you a sense of what the USDAC is and does. Feel free to browse over the rest of the site for more info.

Email 2-3 questions you have about the USDAC to yolandawisher@gmail.com: We’ll use these questions to guide our discussion.
