August brings long, sunny days and a vibrant energy to the streets of Denver. In every corner of the city, there’s countless art fairs, mural festivals, and misty patios to cool off afterward with a cold drink.

From August 16-17, this year’s summit includes 10-minute talks, hands-on workshops, performances, socially engaged art projects, film screenings, a block party, the opening reception for The Other Side of the Tracks exhibition, and much more.

Regan Rosburg - Artist Residency in the Arctic Circle
What: Artist Residency
Where: International Territory of Svalbard
When: August 15 - August 30, 2024
About the residency: The Arctic Circle expeditionary residency program invites international artists, scientists, educators and innovators to live and work aboard an Arctic-class expedition ship while sailing the waters of the international territory of Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago just 10 degrees latitude from the North Pole.
The Arctic Circle provides the opportunity for our members to pursue their personal projects on board, and ashore, while exploring collaborations with the expedition’s fellow participants.
About the artist: Regan Rosburg is an artist, naturalist, and writer; she works in a variety of materials to blur the boundary between nature and culture.
Her work is founded in the principles of Ecopsychology, which she describes as society's collective grief, environmental melancholia, and “collective social mania” (her term). She fervently believes that artists are a crucial voice in discussing climate change and human impact.
