Hear what others have to say about CAIR Lab
“The CAIR Lab team has come together in a moment when government needs every resource at its disposal to think outside of the box, create empathetic policies and programs, and dream new futures for its most vulnerable residents. They bring a wealth of knowledge at the intersection of policy, practice, arts, community development, and are translators extraordinaire – able to speak the languages of culture, creativity, and bureaucracy to foster meaningful partnerships in which everyone benefits. There aren’t many teams I would equally trust with research, broad AND deep strategy, and program implementation, but this group is firing on all cylinders to help bring the work of artists to where it is needed most in our society.
