Collaboration Circle - The Arts
Art in the Public Square: The Stories Our Spaces Tell
October 6, 2026 - 12pm - 1pm - Zoom
The Parikh Giving Alliance proudly presents our signature Zoom-at-Noon Collaboration Circle—a one-hour, power-packed conversation held three times each year, with each session focused on a key impact area. Our annual arts-focused Collaboration Circle brings together three respected leaders who will share their unique insights and perspectives, sparking a host-curated dialogue designed to deepen understanding and encourage meaningful collaboration.
Centered on the role of art in everyday spaces, this conversation explores how murals, installations, and performance are shaping the way we experience the world around us. As art continues to move beyond traditional settings, it becomes part of the streets, neighborhoods, and places we gather, often meeting people where they are in unexpected and meaningful ways. This session takes a closer look at how creative expression reflects identity, tells untold stories, and captures moments that might otherwise go unseen. It also considers how these works can shift perspective over time, inviting people to pause, reflect, and see their surroundings in a new way.
Built for those doing the work—nonprofit leaders, healthcare professionals, and government partners—this session offers a closer look at how housing and mental health intersect in real life. You’ll leave with fresh perspective, practical ideas, and a better sense of how cross-sector collaboration can move solutions forward. Free to attend and designed with busy schedules in mind, this one-hour Zoom session fits easily into your lunch hour.
