What does it mean to power our shared prosperity? At the 2024 Rural Futures Summit, we invited over 100+ rural artists and leaders to come together around that very idea.
Invited by Springboard’s Rural Regenerator Fellows, the summit’s attendees spent 3 days connecting through conversation forums, breakout sessions, and art-making workshops. Beyond the gathering itself, the Summit builds an intentional peer network of learning and ideas to support the creative ecosystem of the rural Upper Midwest and foster solidarity and relationship building for larger social change.
