2026.10.29 SAVE-THE-DATE: One State in the Arts & Humanities - March 3-5, 2027

One State in the Arts & Humanities is back!

Save the Date: March 3-5, 2027, at the

Rubenstein Forum in Chicago

October is Arts & Humanities Month, a time to celebrate the people, organizations, and ideas that help our communities thrive. As we look ahead, we're asking a simple but important question:

What's in focus, Illinois?

Join arts, culture, history, heritage, and humanities professionals from across Illinois for three days of learning, connection, and inspiration in Chicago.

In a moment when our attention is pulled in countless directions, One State 2027: In Focus invites us to consider what matters most. What conversations need our attention? What opportunities will shape the future of arts and humanities work across Illinois?

Together, we'll explore new ideas, share best practices, build meaningful connections, and focus on the opportunities that can help our organizations and communities thrive. Join us for workshops, conversations, professional development, and networking with colleagues from across the state.

Early Bird registration opens November 17.
