As National Arts and Humanities Month continues, amazing people around the country are hosting Creative Conversations!

This Americans for the Arts program, started in 2004, helps to unify groups of people engaged in arts and culture by sparking dialogue, spurring advocacy efforts, and creating networking opportunities.

So far this month, we have already had five great events in places as diverse as Nashville, Virginia Beach, Chicago, and Buffalo.

If you missed out on these events, never fear! October still holds over 30 more events – with more being added every day.

This week’s upcoming events include:

•    Artist Conversation with Don Seiden, artist and Jane Stevens, curator - Today, Oct 13! (Chicago, IL)
•    Champaign County ARSCONNECT: pARTner up! - Today, Oct 13! (Urbana, IL)

•    Winner’s Show Art Gallery Reception - Oct 14 (Riverhead, NY)
•    Recourse for Discourse - Oct 14 (Norman, OK)
•    Five for 5th Art Show Event - Oct 15 (Harvard, IL)

Click on the links above to register for specific events taking place this week or visit the interactive map to learn more about all of the Creative Conversations that are taking place across the country.

If you don’t see one near you, you can visit the Local Host Toolkit to learn more about the seven steps to hosting a successful Creative Conversation in your community.

If you attended any of the events last week, don’t be shy! Be creative and don’t let the conversation die. Many times local conversations can turn into national conversations by utilizing our ARTSblog, network listservs, and social media.
