Presented by ArtsNow and the Summit County Land Bank, the 2025 Creative Placemaking Conference is seeking insightful, innovative, and engaging session proposals that explore the intersection of arts, culture, and community development. This annual gathering brings together artists, planners, community leaders, and change-makers to share strategies, spark dialogue, and inspire action.

If you have ideas, research, or experiences that can deepen understanding and advance the practice of creative placemaking, we invite you to submit a proposal. Help shape a conference that fosters collaboration, explores new possibilities, and strengthens the impact of arts and culture in communities.
