We’re hosting a virtual town hall meeting for Hyperallergic Members on March 19 at 6pm (EDT).
We loved connecting with so many of you at our last town hall in November and are looking forward to meeting again. On March 19, members will learn about the latest happenings at Hyperallergic and get a behind-the-scenes look at the Hyperallergic Podcast and social videos with media producer Isabella Segalovich.
We’re especially excited to introduce two guest speakers joining us for a conversation on DEI in the art world: Lise Ragbir and Ola Mobolade, co-founders of VERGE, a firm committed to identifying and supporting qualified job-seekers who have historically been underrepresented in the arts as they seek to advance the best business practices of art galleries and museums.
As DEI slowly dies, arts organizations should honor the core of their mission, which is a move toward accessibility. Ragbir and Mobolade will discuss what comes next.
Read Lise Ragbir’s latest essay for Hyperallergic: Notes from a Post-DEI Art World.
We’ll also open the floor to any questions you may have about Hyperallergic, arts journalism, the art world, and more.
All Hyperallergic Members are welcome. Members can find the registration link above when they sign in or in their latest Member newsletter.
This event is only for active members, so if you haven’t signed up yet, there is still time to join! To access this event and more, you can become a member today at hyperallergic.com/membership.
As always, if you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].
See you on March 19!
