WHAT ARE CPL SUMMITS?
The Creative Placemaking Leadership Summits provide influential discussions, hands-on workshops, and networking events to people from around the country, who are interested in building their communities through arts and cultural programming. Throughout our two or three day summits, we provide the platform the cross-pollination of ideas, disciplines, and cultures to come together and learn from one another in a creative, friendly, and positive atmosphere. Everyone is encouraged to share ideas and learn from one-another. We believe that while not one person knows everything, everyone knows something and should contribute to the building of this rapidly growing field.
Starting as a singular summit in New Jersey from 2015-2017, we’ve expanded our reach to all corners of the continental US: the West, South+Appalachia, Pacific, Northeast, and Midwest. CPLS also offers a National Summit at the end of its season, to provide a rich national dialogue oriented towards local impact. We aim to attract at least 1,500 key influencers to these summits, this year alone. Our planning teams consist of more than a dozen state agencies, regional arts organizations, universities, and influential nonprofit organizations.
WHO ATTENDS?
Since 2014, more than 2,600 people – many of them community leaders, public officials and organizational decision-makers -- have participated in our Creative Placemaking Leadership Summits. In 2018, the National Endowment for the Arts provided the means to expand our scope to regions across the United States. The Leadership Summit attracts a wide range of professionals. These include elected and public officials, developers, representatives of foundations, community and economic development professionals, urban planners and designers, leaders of cultural organizations and, of course, artists and other creative professionals. We bring them together with recognized experts and leaders, such as Jane Golden of the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program,
Jamie Bennett of ArtPlace America, Regina Smith of the Kresge Foundation, and more.
Surveys show that more than 90% of Leadership Summit and Knowledge Exchange participants enjoy the events, learn a great deal, and make good connections. Creative placemaking is a growing field in the United States. More than 1,400 communities are engaged in creative placemaking, with support from more than a dozen grant-makers and government agencies. NCCP is a leading convener and thought leader in this field. We have more than 10,000 subscribers around the United States, many of which are eager to hear more about our sponsors.
