Arts Administrators of Color Network Annual Convening, November 8–9

The 2025 Annual Convening of the Arts Administrators of Color Network will take place November 8–9, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. The Arts Administrators of Color Network is a support network that harnesses the power of artists, arts administrators, and organizations of people of the global majority to connect and expand BIPOC leadership across the U. S. creative sector.

This year’s gathering—co-hosted with Creative West’s Leaders of Color Program—will take place across two iconic venues: the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center and LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, with additional programming throughout the city. We are proud to collaborate with Blackbird Collective PBC to bring this experience to life. The 2025 theme, Rooted in Care, Rising in Joy, celebrates creativity as resistance, community as healing, and gathering as a powerful act of love.
