About this event
- 8 hours
Northwest Folklife presents Laulima: the first Annual Creative Ecosystems Summit. This assembly brings together an amalgam of creative constituents to discuss tools, strategies, and collaborations for building a resilient and prosperous creative ecosystem.
Nestled within our flagship gathering, the 53rd Annual Northwest Folklife Festival, this summit will include presentations, workshops, and panel discussions propelled by the joy, comfort, and humanity we derive from art and culture and the power transmitted through storytelling and imagination.
Participants will share skills, resources, and ideas, learning from and networking with the diverse and dynamic community that makes up our creative ecosystem. Through intentional cross-discipline thought partnership and collaboration, we can collectively increase the value proposition of arts and culture in our city, region, and beyond.
*Laulima is a Hawaiian term, literally meaning “400 hands” or essentially “many hands.” Our ecosystem will thrive when we collectively contribute the wealth of creative skills and cultural knowledge towards the larger whole.
