Our workshops offer communities time to take a deep dive into the craft of writing and imaginative approaches within activism to create a more equitable world. Pulling from the wisdom of both past and contemporary black writers. Adaptable for various age ranges and skill levels, our teaching artists have experience in facilitating groups of various sizes and diverse learning abilities.   

Our seminars & keynote addresses offer an engaging approach to build with communities in learning about our focus areas of creative place making, ending anti-black racism and alternative economies such as cooperatives. We offer presentations on what we’ve learned from starting our own cooperative in South Minneapolis and how cooperatives are a site of possibility in thinking about shaping communities on terms of black joy with the spirit of self governance.    

Our trainings provide time for communities and organizations inside and outside of systems to think about the values we champion at Black Table Arts and sit with the skill sets we try to develop within our cooperative such as: professional development within the arts, facilitation , strategic planning, political education i.e analysis and theory, cultural competency.
