Community Conversation: Arts as an Economic Driver
2025-05-14 17:00 - 19:00 | Augusta Heritage Center, 21 3rd St, Elkins, WV, 26241, United States
The Elkins-Randolph County Chamber invites you to a powerful evening of dialogue, connection, and collaboration focused on one big idea: How can the arts drive economic growth in our community?
Arts as an Economic Driver is a free community conversation designed to explore the ways creativity contributes to thriving local economies—and how we can harness that momentum right here in Elkins and Randolph County.
We’ll begin with a brief talk from an expert who’s seen firsthand how the arts have revitalized towns just like ours. Then, we’ll open the floor for YOU—artists, small business owners, community leaders, and passionate residents—to share your perspectives and shape the vision for what’s next.
Whether you paint, perform, build, teach, or support the arts in other ways, this is your chance to connect with others and be part of something bigger.
Let’s turn ideas into action and creativity into opportunity.
