Americans For The Arts Conference (AFTACON)
MARCH 13TH, 2026
The world of art is facing radical shifts. This June people from across the arts sector are coming together to discuss and develop plans to navigate these shifts. I'm helping develop the pathway for Creative Work, Agency, and Technology. A major question we keep asking is how can artists lead the way in technology instead of artists being led by it. With the conversations happening in this community I think there's a lot of alignment.
AFTACON 2026 is where we gather to shape the future of arts and culture. June 2-5 in Albuquerque, artists, administrators, and advocates from across the nation will come together to learn, strategize, and mobilize—building momentum that extends far beyond four days.
