In 2011, Tricia Van Eck began to arrange a series of dinners to bring local arts stakeholders together at 6018 North. The 3-Line Matrix below summarizes 6018North's mission.

In advance of the dinners, Tricia and I discussed her intent and developed a manageable set of questions to pose.

The questions were presented to the guests at the outset of the evening on a wall sized whiteboard.

Smaller dinner discussions were reported to the full group over dessert, when the various points and responses were noted on the board. Many more events are planned, a set of more formal summaries will be developed and shared.

Examples from two dinners are shown below.
