Congratulations to Ben Evans, Program Director/Gallery Curator at ACE/121 in Glendale, CA. Through a highly competitive process, he has been accepted as an Arts Delegate in a training program offered by Arts for LA called ACTIVATE. The program functions as an advocacy & organizing lab, introducing the fundamentals of policy-making, civic procedures, advocacy, and community organizing, with the aim of empowering participants to design change campaigns in one of Arts for LA’s four policy areas: affordable spaces for artists, creative career pathways, equitable arts education, and arts funding. Ben is feeling excited and proud—most justifiably, we believe. His comment: “I am looking forward to the toolkit and skillset this is going to bring to my work here at ACE/121 and in Glendale!”
