“Reflection, Renewal and Rejuvenation” are goals for this year’s Arts Summit, organizers said, “as we move beyond the challenges of the past several years. The Summit will provide time, sessions, and experiences designed to make us stronger individually and as organizations by promoting mindfulness, stress reduction, better internal and external communications, and methods to manage uncertainty. The arts community is invited to come together to unify and strengthen our creative collective, because the stronger we are, the greater our impact!”
“We are delighted to announce the opening of registration for the 2023 Delaware Arts Summit in Dewey Beach,” said Kristin Pleasanton, deputy director of the Delaware Division of the Arts. “This summit promises to be a celebration and acknowledgement of the importance of the arts in Delaware, and all who play a role in their creation and presentation. We encourage everyone to secure their spot and join us for this exceptional event.”

Workshops offered by nationally recognized speakers provide valuable learning experiences that empower individuals to assess, refine and grow. This, in turn, enhances innovation and cultivates a culture of continuous improvement within the creative sector.”
