Co-presented by South Arts and the National Consortium for Creative Placemaking (NCCP), the Creative Placemaking Leadership Summit: South + Appalachia is an annual gathering that explores how arts and cultural programming can be forces for connection and community resilience throughout the southeastern United States.
The Creative Placemaking Leadership Summit: South + Appalachia connects, informs, inspires and empowers hundreds of artists, civic and cultural leaders, educators, public officials and more from around the South. Through the Summit participants can build new or better partnerships, projects, programs and policies. The Summit offers a wide range of experiences, including peer exchanges, research roundtables, training sessions, and more.
The 2021 online edition will explore equitable economic and business development; empowering and supporting social practice artists and culture bearers; and healing, recovery and resilience. In particular, it will highlight creative placemaking work in Macon and central Georgia and will enable participants to keep conversations going for at least six months after the Summit through a new Creative Placemaker Community Forum. All the sessions are designed to help creative placemaking in many types of communities in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, southwestern New York, North Carolina, southeastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia. But anyone from anywhere can participate.
Since 2018, Creative Placemaking Leadership Summits for the South and Appalachia have served about 800 participants.
