On October 12th from 9am-6pm, The Luminary will host a special satellite location for the Creative Time Summit. We will be livestreaming the event with supplementary discussions and presentations from 12-1:30pm by area artists and cultural producers whose work intersects with the vision of the summit. Several of the presenters include artist and Chautauqua Art Lab founder Emily Hemeyer, artist and founder of The Proper Residency Angela Malchionno, artist Wonder Koch, Liz Deichmann and Brigid Flynn of MAPS, and Dayna Kriz from Rebuild Foundation.

The event is free and open to the public. Coffee and tea will be provided, with additional limited refreshments available.

About the Creative Time Summit

To advance its mission of positioning the voices of artists at the center of public discourse, New York City-based public arts organization Creative Time will bring together an international group of over 30 presenters—including artists, curators, visionaries, and activists—to discuss how their work engages pressing issues affecting our world and to provide a glimpse into the political implications of socially engaged art. This year’s conference, curated by Creative Time Chief Curator Nato Thompson, is titled The Creative Time Summit: Confronting Inequity. Presentations will respond to recent upheavals in the international political and economic climate by focusing specifically on the topic of wealth inequity across the globe and the ways in which it erodes democracy. Keynote speakers include renowned cultural critic Slavoj Žižek and multimedia artist Martha Rosler.

The event is free and open to the public and will be held at The Luminary Center for the Arts, 4900 Reber Place, St. Louis, MO, 63139. RSVP’s are encouraged by contacting info@theluminaryarts.com with a subject line of CREATIVE TIME.
