2022 Keynote Announced!

The Ohio Arts Professionals Network is thrilled to announce our 2022 Keynote Speaker, Laura Zabel!

 

 "Creative People Power"

As our communities work towards recovery and rebuilding, we need creativity and culture to help imagine and build a more equitable, connected and vibrant future. Laura's presentation will focus on how arts and community leaders can reach and engage more people, increase community relevance and connection and find creative ways to collaborate with local government and community agencies. Laura will share examples of locally-grown, small-scale projects and programs that demonstrate how artists use critical processes to reconnect, imagine and build a better future.
