FOR ORGANIZATIONS
There is a potentially beautiful interdependence between artists and the venues and institutions that celebrate them. And yet cultural patterns have kept some organizations from experiencing a healthy and mutually beneficial relationship with their artists. I help cultural entities know, nurture, and attune with artists as the invaluable human beings they are and to produce new types of interaction that transcend histories of extraction, exploitation and patriarchy.
Gibbous helps organizations develop communication tools, new programs, and modes of connectivity to help center shared values around creativity and community. Erin’s approach is holistic and adaptable, integrating an organization’s mission, needs, limits, and opportunities to collaborate with artists in celebratory and humane ways.
