Elevate the Arts is an outdoor community arts festival and fundraiser for Arts Alive on August 13th from 12-4PM. The event will be hosted in the commercial lot on Gilbo Ave. in downtown Keene and will include free lawn games and arts activities for kids and families, live music, food trucks, an artist market, and a bake sale. The event will close with a raffle of large and small prizes.
Arts Alive! coordinated the Arts Track of the Radically Rural Summit. Radically Rural is an annual two-day summit that brings together hundreds people who are passionate about creating vibrant, robust rural communities and eager to learn, connect and lead change. Broad shifts in demographics, communications, technology, economic development, and personal values are generating creative responses from innovative thinkers, change-makers, entrepreneurs, and community-builders who love their towns and know their advantages. Here is a rundown of our Crazy Good session about Burning Man, events on protected land, and the culture that makes land stewardship possible during large scale events.
