“The popularity of this event has made it a mainstay in Joplin’s arts and cultural community. Our creative community has so much to offer. So much, in fact, that it’s nearly impossible to take advantage of all the available opportunities. C2C is passionate about increasing audience for the Joplin arts and cultural community by making these opportunities more accessible to both residents and visitors. We hope this arts roundtable educates the public about upcoming events, encourages collaboration between participating organizations, and informs the media about potential stories.” – Emily Frankoski, C2C Community Arts Director.

Organizations interested in participating are asked to register by emailing emily@connect2culture.com or calling 417.625.6683 by Wednesday, July 26, 2017. This event is free and open to the public.
