"Failures are information.

Failures are data."

​Dr. Quanice G. Floyd sits down with Calida Jones, M.M. to unpack some of the tensions many cultural workers are feeling right now, from institutional accountability to the emotional realities of surviving this moment in the field.
​
They discuss the Creative Evolutions' MOMENTUM Conference and the importance of creating spaces that move beyond surface-level conversations toward collective reflection and action.

Here are just a few bites from their conversation:
​

Organizations are not comfortable with "leaving that [endowment] money alone, and fundamentally re-imagining what their field looks like."
​
"I don't believe in survival being tied to scale, prestige, legacy. I believe our art is work. And it's work that should impact the world."
​
"Failures are information. Failures are data."

Nonprofit workers, are you ready to put all those conference notebooks and ideas to real use?

MOMENTUM, however, is brand new! In 2026, we are Expanding Choices for Board Models in the following cities:

June 10-13 Kickoff in San Juan at TCG's National Conference

June 26-27: University of Oklahoma hosts our first 2-day convening

July 14-15: University of the Bahamas

July 25-26: Cornish College of the Arts at Seattle University (I'll be here!)

August 5-6: Minneapolis College of the Arts (this one too!)

Sept 8th: Virtual Free Culmination

Each event builds upon the prior one, ensuring that promising concepts evolve through multiple iterations.

Join the MOMENTUM this summer at one of our 5 stops - or register for the free culmination on September 8th and you'll get all the goodies as we go along! (Seriously, we will share all the materials and ideas and resources and frameworks.)
