Women and historically underrepresented people have contributed profoundly in the arts throughout history. Despite these contributions, the arts industry lacks their representation as a whole, and particularly at the leadership level. This panel discussion invites faculty and administrators from performing and visual arts departments at Queens College, who will:

1. highlight the contributions of women and underrepresented voices in the arts
2. bring awareness on the lack of their representation in the field
3. discuss ways to cultivate future generations of diverse leaders in the arts.

Chloë Bass, Assistant Professor, Art Department; Co-Director, Social Practice Queens
Maria C. Pio, Co-Director, Godwin-Ternbach Museum
Julia Del Palacio, Director of Strategic Partnership and Development, Kupferberg Center for the Arts
Meghan Healey, Chair, Department of Drama, Theater and Dance
Emily Wilbourne, Associate Professor, Musicology, Aaron Copland School of Music
