2017 COMMON FIELD CONVENING LOS ANGELESCommon Field’s Convening is an itinerant annual gathering that brings together 350+ local and national organizers to explore the state of the field of arts organizing and to share resources, knowledge and methods for artist-led, artist-run, and artist-centered projects, spaces and practices.The Convening aims to develop local and national peer connectivity and to build knowledge from and for the field. Convenings connect the interests of the national Common Field membership to the issues and conditions specific to the location in which they are held.This year’s program commits to even more participation from our network. More than half the sessions were selected from an our first ever Convening Open Call for proposals.
