Calling all artists, arts administrators, educators, and funders! Get ready to energize your creative practice and cultivate meaningful connections at the 2026 Artists Thrive Summit, taking place from March 24-26, 2026. This unique event is designed for everyone, from first-timers eager to explore new avenues to seasoned professionals looking to deepen their impact. It’s your chance to collaborate with peers, gain fresh inspiration, and make a real difference for artists in your community. The Summit will be held concurrently across six vibrant locations, each offering its own unique local theme to enrich your experience: Lowell, MA, Nashville, TN, Kansas City, MO, San Antonio, TX, Billings, MT, and Las Vegas, NV.
San Antonio Theme
Given San Antonio’s unique context as a major military hub and home to the recently expanded UT Health Systems, conversations will focus on the tangible impact of creative expression on stress reduction, emotional regulation, and social connection. This is a unique opportunity to secure innovative strategies for integrating arts-based programs directly into community and institutional wellbeing frameworks.
