Building Cultures of Inclusion through Arts Education
Karen Cueva 
Assistant Director, Learning and Engagement Programs, Carnegie Hall, Weill Music Institute 
On Zoom; Thursday, September 24, 5:15-6:15pm

Through personal narrative and discussion on work with community-based music education programs across the United States, our session will dive into examples of building authentic inclusion in historically marginalized communities. We will also discuss how arts ecosystems support accessibility and inclusion to musical learning for all students. Please feel free to bring any questions to the table! This will be a presentation, but hopefully more of a dialogue. If you're interested in learning about the work that is supported through Carnegie Hall's PlayUSA (we'll be chatting about a few organizations), check out our list of partners organizations here: https://www.carnegiehall.org/Education/Educators/PlayUSA
