These panel discussions will present topics on how Art and Culture can be instrumental in changing, building and unifying communities in ways that can be deeper and less polarizing than other approaches.

The panels are free, open to the public, and funded through a grant from Dade Community Foundation, with additional support from the Florida Humanities Council, the state program of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council.
