The NWMI Art & Culture Summit is the gathering for our region's creative community and showcase of our art and culture.
This year, we’ve reimagined the Summit as a dynamic, two-day, multi-venue festival in the heart of downtown Traverse City. With a primary focus to create space to build meaningful relationships with other creative folks like you, we will celebrate our region's cultural landscape with inspiring keynote sessions, hands-on workshops, and art-filled experiences.
Whether you’re a returning participant or joining us for the first time, the 2025 Summit is your time to connect with fellow creative spirits and discover new ways to collaborate and grow. Let’s gather, learn, and spark new ideas together!
