2024 Arts Leadership Roundtable

Thursday, June 13th, 8:30 AM to 5PM at the Miners Foundry

Join us for the kick-off event for the first ever Arts and Culture Master Plan for Nevada County. Meet the experts who will be leading this process and ensure that your voice is heard.

This is a rare opportunity to gather together in person to share our perspectives, discuss our industry’s most pressing cultural, artistic and professional issues, and begin to co-create a shared vision for the future of arts and culture in Nevada County.

With the re-designation of our California Cultural Districts, and the results of our most recent Arts & Economic Prosperity study recently out, we are now entering into a year-long Arts & Culture Master Planning process for the whole county. This is a moment for asking big questions, learning from one another, and growing.

Join Us for a Day of Connection

You will be in the company of arts and culture and civic leaders from across Nevada County—east and west—and we will be introducing for the first time the consultant who will be guiding us all through the process of creating the county’s first ever Arts and Culture Master Plan.
