About Emergence
Emergence is the annual convening of the EAP network of arts & culture workers and provides a collaborative platform for the Bay Area workforce to connect, share ideas, and elevate their work and voices. EAP is committed to curating Emergence as a participatory experience that encourages deep connections and inquiries that are omnidirectional through generations, career levels, business models, and disciplines. Our goal is for you to leave with actionable next steps, as well as tangible tools and a strengthened network to support your work.
Emergence is at the heart of Art Workers Week, which honors the culture, labor, and value arts and culture workers contribute to our Bay Area ecosystem and the many networks, organizations, and collectives who hold space and provide us with resources and connection.

Covid Safety & Expectations
Due to network demand, Emergence and EAP as an organization are returning to in-person gatherings amid the ongoing pandemic and navigating shifting safety and accessibility needs as we do so. Please note that there will be air purifiers and masks available on site. We encourage but do not require participants to mask, to accommodate folks with respiratory issues or hearing impairment needs.
