WAM Theatre is thrilled to partner with Mosaic Gallery 51 and MCLA to present our 2nd Annual Women in Leadership Panel—a day of dialogue, inspiration, and connection that centers the voices and experiences of women and creative leaders.

Rooted in WAM’s mission to advance gender equity through art and advocacy, this program reflects our belief that creativity, cross-sector collaboration, and civic engagement are deeply intertwined. We cultivate ecosystems where artists belong, advocacy is a daily practice, and communities thrive. Through these conversations, panelists will share how they navigate systems, confront gender bias, build inclusive spaces, and harness creative practice to transform their communities.
