Assembly Minutes 5/16/25

Welcome & Introductions

Considering, do we want to do away with RSVPing for assembly meetings?

Considering classes and workshops for the fall- let us know what YOU Want and need.

How are local arts organizations impacted by the current state of arts funding?

Mostly large organizations, venues, and grant distributing groups are hurting. Smaller, grassroots orgs are fairing better.

What projects and initiatives can we support that will have a powerful impact in our community?

Grant to support new works. Unpublished play/musical festival. Check out Leader Theatre for upcoming performances across the state.

Create a Grand Rapids Theatre Reddit for another way to stay connected off of Facebook. Will link that to the website. Sub reddit threads to ask questions and learn from one another.

Next meeting June 22 coincides with Pride Festival, plan accordingly. Conclusion and see you next month!
