The story of our cultural future is being written daily — by people like you.. From artists and educators to neighbors and entrepreneurs, each act of creativity, connection, and collaboration adds a new chapter to that story.
You don’t have to set out to “advance a priority” to be part of this work. If the statements of belief behind the Cultural Plan reflect the spirit of what you do — if your efforts bring people together, spark imagination, honor tradition, or create a more welcoming community — then your story is part of this larger movement.
By sharing these stories, we can celebrate the incredible work already happening, inspire others to get involved, and show how arts, culture, entertainment, and recreation are shaping a more vibrant and resilient future for Summit County.
We’ll use submissions to celebrate local creativity, spark new ideas, and show how much energy and momentum already exists across Summit County.
The story of our cultural future is being written every day — and by sharing yours, you help write the next chapter.
