Creative Conversations are part of a nationwide effort to elevate the profile of the Arts through local gatherings of Emerging Leaders in communities across the country. Networks choose topics of particular relevancy and/or interest to their local arts community to address. The organization of these events varies from city to city, but the intent remains consistent. EAL/LA has a rich history of Creative Conversations and it is the most highly attended event each year for the organization.
