2025 State of the Arts Summit
Our annual summit, State of the Arts, returns on Wednesday, October 8, 2025!
State of the Arts is an annual gathering of LA’s creative community to reflect, connect, and rise to action. This year’s theme—Roots, Recovery, and Regeneration—speaks to our shared need for healing and growth amid wildfires, defunded programs, and escalating attacks on our most vulnerable. In this critical moment, let us unite to protect each other, preserve our cultural assets, and imagine a more abundant future.
Last year’s summit had over 350 attendees, and we expect to exceed that this time around.
We hope you’ll join us at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center in historic Little Tokyo on Wednesday, October 8. Keep an eye out for more details in the coming weeks.
