Art and literary nonprofits often depend on the kindness of strangers to secure funding and serve the public. How do they do it? What does it take to support the arts in today’s economic climate? Hear from experts on both sides of the grant-making process as they discuss the ways philanthropy and the tricky task of asking for money create a sustainable arts ecosystem that serves us all. With executive directors J. K. Fowler (Bay Area Book Festival), Kamala Tully (Mesa Refuge), artist and grant-writer JD Beltran, and philanthropic leader Dimple Abichandani. Moderated by Elizabeth Forsyth (The Writers Grotto, Local Words).

Curated by Mesa Alum Janine Kovac.
