Imagine Miami Summit on Arts, Culture & Civic Engagement

Learn, share, brainstorm and network with others in Miami-Dade who believe in the power of arts and culture to address social and civic concerns. Let's discover how to collaborate across sectors (arts, culture, research, education, healthcare, social service, business, entrepreneurs) for arts/culture projects that ...

• broaden citizen voice and participation
  
• create a welcoming space for disenfranchised groups to engage around civic issues
  
• enhance public understanding of complex and often divisive issues, and
  
• motivate people to make change.
  

Our engaging and innovative all-day Summit is packed with case studies, workshops, interactive exhibits, creative and fun networking opportunities and more. Highlights include:

• KEYNOTE with national arts and civic engagement expert Barbara Shaffer-Bacon (Co-Director of Animating Democracy)
  
• INTERACTIVE CASE STUDIES of more than a dozen innovative local arts/culture/civic change collaborations (presented by the key organizers themselves)
  
• WORKSHOPS by national and local experts on how to plan, develop, collaborate and fund an arts/culture/civic project
  
• VIDEOS, EXHIBITS and DEMOS of local and national arts/culture/civic projects
  
• LIVE PERFORMANCES by two top artists employing arts for civic change
  
• CREATIVE "World Cafe" DIALOGUE & BRAINSTORMING on ideas for large-scale collaborations
  
• CREATIVE NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES
