The 2010 Americans for the Arts Half-Century Summit will celebrate, connect, and prepare leaders to create their own dynamic future for the arts in America as a united field.

If you have a vested interest in the future of the arts in America, it is vital that your voice be heard at this meeting on June 25–27, 2010, which will also feature preconferences on arts education and public art, June 24–25.

The 2010 Americans for the Arts Half-Century Summit will celebrate the accomplishments and advances of the arts during the last 50 years and bring together leaders from across the country to strengthen their knowledge of key issues, network with peers, and identify strategic actions that will secure a critical role for the arts in our nation’s future.

We’re inviting attendees and speakers that will include local, state, regional, and national arts leaders and the partners and constituents that make their work possible, including but not limited to: artists, elected officials, foundation and corporate representatives, volunteers, patrons, activists, journalists, educators, economic developers, and urban planners.

We’re excited for you to join us in Baltimore, a hip and thriving hub of cultural activity boasting a creative arts community and world-class arts venues, as we celebrate 50 years of the arts in America and our own 50th anniversary.
