DESCRIPTION:Sliding Scale Ticket Model \nLearn more about our ticket prices here: https://bit.ly/RFTicketInfo \nIn a moment unlike any we have faced as a global community\, Race Forward believes that Racial Justice is more important than ever. In order to embed Racial Equity into all of our day to day operations as well as our responses in this moment we must continue to hold fast to a commitment that enables us to learn\, grow and practice racial equity work together. \nAs the world continues to adapt to threats against democracy\, we will continue to offer virtual learning spaces that center on normalizing\, organizing\, and operationalizing racial equity into our work at every intersection. \nThe Virtual Building Racial Equity series\, developed by Race Forward: The Center for Racial Justice Innovation\, is an interactive training for those who wish to sharpen their skills and strategies to address systemic racism and advance racial equity. Unlike “diversity trainings\,” which primarily focus on interpersonal relations and understanding\, these trainings emphasize how to challenge and change institutional racial inequities. \nBuilding Racial Equity: Foundations is the first and “foundational” training of the series. Participants will build on and strengthen racial equity practices for themselves and their organizations and networks. This training will introduce participants to concepts\, frames\, and tools that are essential to a productive racial equity practice. Attending this training is required to participate in subsequent trainings. \nTraining Components \n\nRacial Justice Values & Vision\nKey Concepts: Different Dimensions of Racism and Systems Analysis\nCountering Implicit Bias\nOpportunities to Advance Racial Equity\n\nParticipants will \n\nBuild a clear understanding of key concepts such as racial equity and structural racism.\nLearn to talk about race constructively within their organizations and with their constituents.\nGain tools and practices for counteracting racial bias in their work and practices.\nIdentify opportunities and next steps for applying concepts and strategies to advance racial equity.\n\n  \nFAQ’s \nSliding Scale Ticket Model \nLearn more about our ticket prices here: https://bit.ly/RFTicketInfo \nZoom Use: \nPlease note that you will need to be able to access zoom in order to participate in this training.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Programming First: How Nonprofits Can Make Smarter Space Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Your organization’s programming should drive your space decisions\, not the other way around. Join Denham Wolf for an expert-led discussion tailored to nonprofit leaders navigating program changes\, space acquisition\, or long-term planning. This session will introduce a practical framework for understanding space through three critical perspectives: physical\, financial\, and organizational. \nTogether\, we’ll explore the process of converting program needs into actionable space strategies-whether that’s leasing\, purchasing\, or reconfiguring existing space-while being mindful of budget and gathering consensus among decision-makers. Real estate can be a powerful tool for essential work\, but not every space will serve your mission. Using real-world examples\, our experts will show you how to keep your mission at the center of every real estate decision. \nIn this session\, you will: \n\nDiscover how to translate programs into physical space\n\n\nUnderstand space influencing programming vs. programming influencing space\n\n\nExplore our programming change checklist to assess your space requirements\n\nWho should attend: \nExecutive directors\, operations leaders\, and board members of nonprofit organizations planning space changes\, programming shifts\, or acquisitions. \nWhy attend: \nThis session will equip you with the knowledge needed to make informed real estate decisions that serve your mission\, programs\, and communities.

SUMMARY:Ran Hwang | Noble Blossoms
DESCRIPTION:In her solo exhibition\, Ran Hwang presents large-scale installations that are both intricate and poetic\, delicate yet dramatic\, as they explore the cyclical patterns of life and the fleeting nature of beauty.  \nHwang creates her art through a meticulous and repetitive process\, utilizing everyday materials such as paper buttons and pins. This requires intense concentration and discipline\, reflecting the meditative state of Zen masters and the spiritual values traditionally sought by scholars of the past. While painstaking and labor intensive\, the process also embodies an aesthetic of transcending difficulty\, ultimately visualizing a serene beauty and noble spirit that defines the artist’s unique perspective. Through her work\, Hwang evokes a sense of tranquility\, inviting the viewer into an experience that seeks fulfillment and peace.
