ABOUT THE CONVENTION
In 2020, the Annual Convention will land in Washington, D.C., for the first time in nearly 20 years. As one of the most historically diverse regions in the United States, the D.C. metro region is a place that is always local, national, and international simultaneously. Here, culture is interwoven everywhere. Residents who have been here for generations exist alongside constant waves of political arrivals and departures and cultures and flavors from across the world. In both the public and private
sectors, this region houses one of the most thriving, diverse, and creativity-driven economies in the country.
New this year, the Annual Convention will include two simultaneous, separate, 2 ½-day conferences—you can submit a session for consideration for one or both,
and
can register to attend one or both
as well!
- The
Arts, Culture, and Community Life Conference
is about the intersection of arts, culture, community development, civic engagement, creative economy, education, and social impact. This conference is designed for arts administrators, cultural leaders, community activists, artists, educators, and partners interested in bettering their communities through arts and culture.
- The
Public Art & Civic Design Conference will further dialogue and learning about art and design in the built environment. This conference is designed for arts administrators, artists, arts and culture leaders, placemakers and keepers, municipal agents, and other professionals in the planning, transportation, and development fields who are working at the intersection of art and the built environment.
Both conferences will run from
Friday, June 26 to Sunday, June 28, 2020
in Washington, D.C., and both will include excursions to adjoining areas of Maryland and Virginia. Anyone can submit a session proposal for one or both of the conferences—we're looking forward to seeing all your great ideas!
