The Future of Creativity

Being affiliated with the Alliance of Artists Communities has added immeasurable value to the Djerassi Resident Artists Program. As a founding institution, we have had the opportunity to watch the Alliance mature to become the leading force for the field that is reaping huge benefits in visibility and direct support. Creating networks with our peers, advancing our collective missions, providing funding partnerships and caring about our issues are the Alliance’s strengths, and the value that we, as membership residency programs, gain from our association.

Allan Comp, Monica Haslip, Ruby Lerner, Chris Quigg, Alan Weisman and Street-Level Youth Media, among others. The book is a narrative report of the proceedings.
