Creating Change 2026 will be a space for connection, learning, and practice of foundational skills for cross-sector partnership. The summit sessions will collectively offer a toolkit for building community, solidarity, and collective power in the arts and beyond. This year’s summit will prioritize relational tools that build connection to build collective power and push back against fragmentation, fracture, and isolation used by people and systems that hoard power and perpetuate oppression. The Creating Change Network is a program of New Jersey Theatre Alliance in partnership with ArtPride New Jersey, with a mission to build a more equitable, just, accessible, and anti-racist arts community in New Jersey. Guided by a steering committee of arts professionals and social justice leaders, the Creating Change Network offers ongoing opportunities for learning and collaboration to move the arts sector forward. The Creating Change Network is committed to the long-term endeavor of shifting culture, empowering leaders, sharing strategies, ensuring accountability, and sustaining hope so that individuals and organizations can progress in this work. | Date & Time: October 28, 2026 at 9:30AM | Location: Count Basie Center for the Arts, Vogel Theatre | More information and registration.
