The Heritage Project artistic salon series continues with The Business of Show. This salon will explore the economic impact and cultural significance of Black trailblazers in the performing arts. We will look at artists as business professionals and discuss how Black culture has become a commodity. The panel will consist of arts administrators, performers and others.
This discussion will capture the spirit of a Harlem Renaissance salon, where Black leaders, intellectuals, activists, artists, educators and business owners would come together to discuss matters impacting the Black community.
Closed captioning will be provided.
