Conversations in the Arts has evolved into an ongoing program by the Huntington Arts Council to stimulate and promote the arts. These participatory talks featuring artists and scholars from our community, will enrich our arts experiences and help us to more fully understand the values and contributions the arts have made, and continue to make, to society. Conversations will be held monthly as engaged inquiries and dialogues used to explore ideas, facilitate collaborations and networking opportunities. Open to the public.
