About The Summit
The Creative Time Summit is a conference that brings together cultural producers—including artists, critics, writers, and curators—to discuss how their work engages pressing issues affecting our world. Their international projects bring to the table a vast array of practices and methodologies that engage with the canvas of everyday life. The participants range from art world luminaries to those purposefully obscure, providing a glimpse into an evolving community concerned with the political implications of socially engaged art. The Creative Time Summit is meant to be an opportunity to not only uncover the tensions that such a global form of working presents, but also to provide opportunities for new coalitions and sympathetic affinities. You are encouraged to buy tickets for the event and attend as a member of the audience (but remember, they sell out fast). You may also follow the event live here via Livestream from anywhere in the world.

About Creative Time
Creative Time’s new projects continue the organization’s 35-year-long commitment to groundbreaking, historically important artwork and fostering a culture of experimentation and change. Creative Time works with artists to push the boundaries of art-making and expand its own practice. Creative Time’s recent projects include Paul Ramírez Jonas’ Key to the City, Jeremy Deller’s Conversations About Iraq, Paul Chan’s Waiting for Godot in New Orleans, and Tribute in Light. The organization has worked with 1,400 of the world’s most dynamic artists and worked in 17 states across the nation.
