The Somewhere Summit is an open arts dialogue designed for Atlanta-based artists, scholars, arts administrators and other cultural workers interested in gaining a deeper understanding of how Atlanta artists are positioned within a global contemporary art framework.
Prompted by Atlanta Art Now’s 2011 publication, Noplaceness: Art in a Post-Urban Landscape, The Somewhere Summit will specifically discuss two related questions: How are artists redefining the idea of place and locality as these concepts shift in an era of rapid geographic, demographic and technological changes, and what does that mean for how Atlanta artists relate to the rest of the world?
