The Creative Conversation Series
Since Fall 2008, PCA’s Creative Conversation Series has provided a community forum for discussion on topics of importance to the arts community. With participation from more than 150 people, the six Creative Conversations to date have addressed issues including arts education practices, marketing Charlottesville as a creative community and a cultural destination, and improving access to the arts for all community members. The insights, ideas, questions and concerns brought forth as a result have been a guiding force for PCA.
Community members are invited to participate in particular Creative Conversations based on their involvement in relevant topic areas. If you would like to be involved in the upcoming Series, contact info@charlottesvillearts.org.
