About Creative Conversations

EAL/LA celebrates  arts and culture by hosting Creative Conversations events. Creative Conversations were established in 2004 by – and held in tandem with Americans for the Arts in observation of National Arts & Humanities Month (October). EAL/LA’s yearly events proved so popular that, in 2012, a second Creative Conversation was added to its permanent program calendar.

Creative Conversations are part of a nationwide effort to elevate the profile of the the Arts through local gatherings of arts leaders in communities across the country. Each year, networks choose a topic of particular relevancy and/or interest to their local arts community to address, either through speakers, workshops, or round-table discussions. The organization of these events varies from city to city, but the intent remains consistent: to galvanize local and national support for the arts. EAL/LA has a rich history of Creative Conversations, and its October Creative Conversation is the organization’s most highly attended event each year.
