Ep9. Art Bridges Cultural Divides: Experience the Power of Art as a Great Unifier with Janice Liebenberg, VP of Equitable Arts Advancement at ArtsWave

Discover how art can bridge cultural divides with our guest, Janice Liebenberg, Vice President of Equitable Arts Advancement at ArtsWave. ArtsWave is a non-profit with the first and largest community arts campaign in the country. You’ll learn why Creativity Squared is a proud partner of the amazing work they do supporting over 150 arts organizations, projects, and independent artists.  Janice joined ArtsWave in 2014 and has helped the organization grow relationships with BIPOC artists, audiences, and donors. This includes establishing the region’s largest annual grants program for Black and Brown arts organizations; developing ArtsWave’s quarterly African American arts series called Flow; and leading its Black and Brown Artist Program with nearly 70 artists commissions to date.  Because it’s important to support artists, 10% of all revenue Creativity Squared generates goes to ArtsWave and is earmarked for its Black and Brown Artist Program that Janice champions.  Janice was promoted to her newly created position to help make diversity, equity, inclusion, and access a hallmark of Greater Cincinnati’s arts and culture sector.  Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, Janice earned a bachelor's in Psychology from Northern Kentucky University. She serves on the Cincinnati Opera’s Board of Directors and is the proud alumnus of We Lead, the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber’s Leadership Program. Since meeting Janice and partnering with ArtsWave for Creativity Squared, we continue to be impressed and inspired by what she and ArtsWave does to create a more vibrant and connected community through the arts. Today, fall in love with ArtsWave as well, especially after learning about their approach to art to bridge cultural divides and help build a more inclusive, equitable community. You’ll also learn about their upcoming Truth and Healing Artist Showcase at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center taking place this July 14, 15, and 16. We’ll also be interviewing all of the artists for the show, so this will be a nice preview.  EPISODE SHOW NOTES: https://creativitysquared.com/podcast/ep9-janice-liebenberg-art-bridges-cultural-divides/ JOIN CREATIVITY SQUARED Sign up for our free weekly newsletter: https://creativitysquared.com/newsletter  Become a premium member: https://creativitysquared.com/supporters  SUBSCRIBE Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform: https://creativitysquared.com Subscribe for more videos: https://youtube.com/@creativity_squared/?sub_confirmation=1 CONNECT with C^2 https://instagram.com/creativitysquaredpodcast https://facebook.com/CreativitySquaredPodcast https://giphy.com/channel/CreativitySquared https://tumblr.com/blog/creativitysquared https://tiktok.com/@creativitysquaredpodcast #CreativitySquared CONNECT with Helen Todd, the human behind C^2 https://instagram.com/helenstravels https://twitter.com/helenstravels https://linkedin.com/in/helentodd https://pinterest.com/helentodd Creativity Squared explores how creatives are collaborating with artificial intelligence in your inbox, on YouTube, and on your preferred podcast platform.  Because it’s important to support artists, 10% of all revenue Creativity Squared generates will go to ArtsWave, a nationally recognized non-profit that supports over 150 arts organizations, projects, and artists.
