Tiffany Denise Hobbs  |  Statera Ambassador

The Statera Ambassador program began in late 2017. Ambassadors are artist-activists with big ideas. They are an ear to the ground, building pathways for greater connectedness between local arts communities and the national gender-parity movement. You will find the Ambassadors authoring posts on the Statera Blog, presenting at StateraCon, engaging as regional Mentorship Coordinators, serving on steering committees, and consulting on the development of Statera programming. You’ll also find them using their social media platforms to share Statera-related news and resources, which strengthen the collective grassroots movement for intersectional gender parity in the arts.
