The 18th Annual Women in the Arts and Business Luncheon is coming to you — virtually — from your own homes!

Join us for an afternoon of celebratory connection, a live-streamed panel discussion with business and arts leaders, and a gourmet lunch (with a personal bottle of Prosecco!) — delivered right to your door!

This year’s theme is Women on the Rise: Resilience and Re-Emergence.

Panelists will discuss the relevant issues in Atlanta’s business and arts communities, and celebrate the pioneering women who make up its textured and diverse landscape. Topics also include: cultural value shifts, work/life balance, how the arts and business ecology are evolving, and the place for arts in our community’s future.

This year’s event will honor Angela Harris (Co-Founder & Artistic Director, Dance Canvas), and others, for their contribution to the arts and economic development in Atlanta.

Panelists include: Danielle Deadwyler (Actor, Poet, Filmmaker), Jai Rogers (Vice President, Business and Community Development, Delta Community Credit Union), Lara Smith (Managing Director, Dad’s Garage), and Joy Wilder Lybeer (U.S.I.S Chief Revenue Officer SVP– Global Partnerships Equifax). The panel will be moderated by Synchronicity Theatre’s Producing Artistic Director Rachel May.

Register for the event here!

The networking component, one of the key opportunities for in-depth cross-industry connection, will be in the form of breakout sessions following the event.

Bid on a variety of new experiences, swag packages, and more.

Double the community impact when you bid on any of our Artist–Led or Black-Owned Business packages. 50% of all proceeds will go back to those who donated!
