Frequently Asked Questions
Can I attend both the 2026 and 2027 Assembly events?
No, invitees must choose one or the other. Please register for only one convening. Offerings will be similar at both Assembly gatherings. Due to capacity constraints at both locations, there will be a maximum number of registrations. Depending on demand, we may open a waitlist.
When will the 2027 Assembly take place?
The 2027 Assembly takes place June 16–17, 2027. Arrivals will be on June 16. Main programming will be on June 17. If you choose to register for the June 2027 Assembly, we will be in touch with more information as the date approaches.
What can I look forward to?
At each Assembly convening, attendees can expect equivalent offerings for learning, collaboration, and connection.
Choose from curated presentations covering money matters for artists at various stages, protection of artistic work and legacies, as well as education on field-wide efforts to enshrine the economic rights of creative workers, and the state of the media.
Additional drop-in activities include collaborative jam sessions for sharing work, somatic exploration to reconnect with the body, and rest and reflection in a quiet writer’s lounge.
Finally, we’ll offer morning and evening keynotes with distinguished guests, and plenty of time and space to enjoy meals together.
