One State Conference & Capital Day

04/24/2023 @ 9:00 AM 5:00 PM

Join us in Springfield for the largest gathering of the arts and culture community in Illinois!

Featuring a keynote address from J. Ivy, sessions hosted by arts leaders from all over the state, and a reception at the Governor’s Mansion hosted by First Lady MK Pritzker, the One State Conference will be an action-packed day of camaraderie and shared learning.

Take part as we share resources, build and strengthen our network of mutual aid within the arts and culture sector in Illinois, and support emerging artists and arts leaders.

The One State Conference will take place from 9am-5pm, with an evening reception at the Governor’s Mansion.

The Guild Complex will be presenting a panel, “Podcasting and Complex Journalism: Hyper-local Racial Politics and the Storytelling to Change Them,” on April 24th from 1-5pm:


Podcasting and Complex Journalism: Hyper-local Racial Politics and the Storytelling to Change Them

Speakers: andrea change (Guild Literary Complex; moderator), Wendy Wei (Change Agents), Judith McCray (Change Agents), Consuela Hendricks (People Matter)

Change Agents, a podcast series produced by Juneteenth Productions, tells stories of grassroots activism in BIPOC and marginalized communities predominantly in the Chicagoland area. Its collaborative storytelling approach allows for more in-depth discoveries on how some people are guiding us through discomfort to change beliefs and inspire civic engagement and social change. This panel discussion will explore the power of a medium like podcasting in illustrating sensitive and complex local issues.
$30 – $225
