Adriane Jefferson and Kolton Harris hold up the cultural lens this week to look at art’s role in creating equitable communities and sustainable economic conditions that work for all people.

Representing New Haven’s Department of Arts, Culture & Tourism and the Connecticut Office of the Arts, respectively, they will lead a discussion on how conscious businesses can engage more productively with cultural groups and together build up our state’s profile as an equitable place to live, work, play and create.
