This fast-paced event (co-hosted by NEFA and Creative Portland, ME) gathers creative and cultural community leaders for networking and practical creative economy workshops prepared by their peers. The Exchange highlights a wide range of successful initiatives from around New England that focus on various elements of the creative economy.
They are looking for about 30 workshops that highlight successful and innovative community projects that deploy arts, culture, and creativity in support of local economic development goals. They are particularly interested in presenting a balance that represents our region fully - considering geography, community size, ethnic representation, and age of target audiences.
Presenters at past events have been able to promote their communities, be considered for regional awards, and connect with their peers.
