Arts Disaster & Crisis Preparedness Conference

Creating Resilient Arts & Culture Communities

The arts and culture sector is vital to economic development, civic engagement, and community health and wellness. However, these creative spaces are also uniquely vulnerable to potential emergencies or disasters. The Arts Disaster & Crisis Preparedness Conference will facilitate the exchange of best practices in emergency preparedness within the arts with the broader community. The day is designed to equip attendees with practical tools, resources, and knowledge to implement emergency plans for their organizations and workspaces.  The conference will also serve as the official launch of the Kentucky Heritage Emergency Response Network (KHERN).
