New This Year: One-on-One Mentorship at the Summit

We’re thrilled to introduce something brand new for this year’s Art & Culture Summit: Mentorship Sessions!

For the first time, attendees can sign up for a 30-minute one-on-one conversation with a creative professional or nonprofit expert. Whether you're looking for feedback on your latest project, to unpack some mysteries of accounting, have questions about funding or public partnerships, or want to talk through career next steps, these sessions are designed to meet you where you are.

Each mentor brings experience in a specific area—from curation and murals to grant writing and gallery shows—and they’re here to help you move forward.

You can reserve your session in the Summit registration process, so be sure to check out the detailed list of mentors ahead of time and find the one that’s right for you.
