2022 KS Arts Councils Symposium Planning Committee

The Kansas Arts Councils Symposium brings together Arts Ambassadors around the state of Kansas to facilitate education, partnership, and celebration of the arts in our communities.

The Symposium Planning Committee is comprised of arts professionals across the state of Kansas to coordinate and plan the Annual Kansas Arts Councils Symposium. The committee divides into four sub-committees which are Logistics, Sponsorship, Marketing, and Programming. We are excited to announce the committee members for this year’s planning committee!

The 2022 symposium will take place on Friday, September 30th.
