Caffeinated Conversations

Conversations on art and culture

Caffeinated Conversations

This program is designed to go beyond the traditional networking event to facilitate real, meaningful relationships through robust topical discussion.

We are curating a list of facilitators with unique perspective or expertise to guide discussion on timely topics related to art, culture and the intersections with our lives in community.

These engaging sessions start with some social time, followed by discussions guided by curated facilitators with a unique perspective on a specific, timely topic. Engage with peers in the creative community around themed conversations that respond to the evolving needs of the arts and culture sector.

  • The cost for this program is underwritten by our supporters
  • Free to attend
