ATTENTION Next Gen Arts and Culture Leaders!
ATTENTION Next Gen Arts and Culture Leaders!Join the leadership of Canada’s largest arts institutions for a stimulating weekend of networking, professional development and ideas exchange at the 20th Annual Canadian Arts Summit, CultureNEXT, May 12-14, 2017 at the Confederation Centre for the Art in Charlottetown, PEI.
From May 12-14, 2017, on the occasion of Canada’s 150th anniversary, the 20th annual Canadian Arts Summit CultureNEXT will bring together 150 extraordinary arts leaders from across the country to imagine the future of Canada’s creative life.

Invited Summit guests will have the opportunity to participate in plenary sessions, share perspectives during round table discussions and exchange ideas on current issues with Summit members, as well as enjoy networking opportunities with important leaders in the arts, culture and business sectors. Attendees will be chosen through a formal selection process led by members of the CAS Steering Committee.
