rising tide story circle
WEDNESDAY, decemember 3, 2025 | 6:30-8:00pm ct

Join 2nd Story for a FREE virtual Story Circle exploring the realities of working in the arts. We invite arts workers from all areas - artists, administrators, leaders, advocates, and funders - to share personal stories around care, compassion, and what it means to feel valued in our work. 

Story Circles are informal get-togethers where we share stories with each other. During the Story Circle, we’ll go through a series of activities to help folks brainstorm stories for themselves and share those stories out loud with the goal of fostering community and connection. There’s nothing to prepare - all we ask is that you come ready to listen and share as you feel moved to do so. 

This event is part of The Rising Tide Project - 2nd Story’s initiative focused on creating change through storytelling, strategy, and solidarity in the arts sector.

The Pay Triangle: A Framework for Building Equitable Pay Practices
Friday, January 23 | 1:00-2:00PM ct
Webinar on zoom

Caring for nonprofit workers means thinking holistically about pay. In this free session, we invite nonprofit leaders and staff to explore the idea of the Pay Triangle - a framework that explores how pay equity, pay transparency, and pay practices work together to create balance and trust. We’ll unpack what equitable pay can look like in practice, how to talk about compensation with clarity and care, and how to strengthen your pay practices while navigating real-world challenges.
