èßäAVArts Summit is an annual spring convening designed to bring thought leaders from the arts and related fields together for conversation and connection. On April 16, 2018, in Washington D.C., the Summit looked into the future — what is the collective future we want and how can we use arts, creativity, culture, and technology to get us there? How do we build a future where the markers of certain identities are no longer indicators of barriers or poor outcomes? Through the landscapes of education, health, and finite resources, participants explored stories of existing, visionary projects and engage in dialogues with artists, futurists, scientists, engineers, and policy makers that help catalyze new projects and partnerships, and bring us closer to activating a future where we all thrive. Participants engaged in a variety of panels, interactive art activities, and curated discussions that concentrate on major themes of identity, representation, creativity, culture, and technology.
