Welcome
The Creative Conversations are a collaborative initiative organized by emerging arts leaders for emerging arts leaders and are connected to the national Emerging Leaders Network coordinated by Americans for the Arts. The Puget Sound region Creative Conversations provide opportunities for emerging arts leaders to test ideas collaboratively while engaging with the professionals that have helped build the foundation for arts in the region.
In October 2006, emerging leaders from 4Culture, Mayor’s Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, The Shunpike, the City of Bellevue, Capitol Hill Arts Center, and Youngstown Cultural Arts Center co-hosted two gatherings for the region’s emerging arts leaders. Over 100 leaders participated, emerging and established alike - dedicated and passionate artists, administrators, nonprofits, governmental organizations, and arts commissioners from around the Puget Sound area. It was clear from the level of participation that there is a far-ranging interest in sustaining the dialogue.
