2022 Spring Summit / Epicenter + Granary Arts

2022

Co-hosted by Epicenter and Granary Arts, the 2022 Spring Summit in Green River brings together designers, architects, artists, curators, cultural producers, and community organizers to gather around the concept of “Home.” This three-day event is structured around the cultivation and strengthening of creative investment in rural Utah by convening a network of leaders who are passionate about the culture and community of rural areas, thus creating opportunities for new collaborative work to develop in rural Utah and beyond. 

Rather than the typical conference format, the 2022 Spring Summit places an emphasis on conversation, peer-run workshops, and interactive group experiences to facilitate a more horizontal exchange of ideas. A wide variety of activities will be offered including lectures by campfire, hands-on workshops, a public service project, walking project tours, a pop-up swap meet, a public art installation, performances, and plenty of group meals. All attendees are invite-only, ranging from early-career practitioners to experts in their field. All enter the Summit as both participants and contributors, to share and learn from each other.
