This space for conversation and connection is being created so we can collectively discuss recent changes in funding options at the state and federal levels and what it means to our South Central PA region. Join us whether you have been directly impacted by these changes OR if you simply want to learn more and share about your experiences as a regional creative in general! There will be time for small group discussions led by attendees to share what’s working in specific areas of the creative sector, where more support is needed, and craft and share visions for the future including state-wide advocacy and reform.

This event is free to attend but please RSVP so we know how many folks are joining the conversation! Please feel free to share this invitation with others in your creative networks!
