Artists and arts organizations are contributing their spaces and their creative energies. Some might say that only museums with specific African American collections have a role, or perhaps only museums situated in the communities where these events have occurred. There is hardly a community in the U.S.

Although fundraising for arts organizations has unique challenges—like justifying the need to ask for support from donors for your arts and culture versus donating to the efforts of front-line workers—art in all forms is something that every community needs. This may be some of your lead performers, popular visual artists, or directors.

Whoever your community is, they decide. Can you define the community to whom you want to be relevant? The community decides what is relevant to them. Who interprets the interests of the community and decides on the relevant themes and activities for the year? That's a more complicated question. My answer: neither.
