King County artists, arts advocates and arts administrators are in for a treat when the Americans for the Arts Annual conference turns it’s focus to the NW this summer! Investigating the theme of arts and sustainability, over 1,400 of our peers and colleagues from around the country will visit our region to: Reflect on innovative ideas from speakers in more than 75 field-crafted sessions; Rethink the possibilities to grow our greatest renewable resources—the arts, culture, and creativity; and Renew our commitment to creating a sustainable future for our communities.

We’re thrilled to hear the recent announcement of the convention Keynote Speaker – Dr. Peter M. Senge. A noted author and senior lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and founding chair of the Society for Organizational Learning, Senge will present a keynote Friday, June 19, discussing how today’s challenging times require the innovative leadership strategies that guide the sustainability of our organizations, communities and the world.

4Culture is delighted to be a regional partner in planning and supporting this event. We hope you will join us to network, convene and help us show off our vibrant region to our national arts peers.
