Creative Impact 2024
On Tuesday, May 14, 2024, The Orange County NY Arts Council presented the 2024 Creative Impact Conference to nearly 200 guests. The conference had a variety of speakers, panels, networking, and conversations around how arts and culture can serve as key drivers in the success of our communities. The event was held at the Storm King Art Center and brought together business leaders, cultural organizations, artists and creative entrepreneurs from across the region. Creative Impact 2024 was presented in partnership with Orange County Chamber of Commerce and Arts Mid-Hudson.
OCNY Arts Council Executive Director, Todd Hulet, remarked, “This event is designed to give back to our business community. We spend much of our year asking for their support of our arts community and today is a reminder of why we do this work. Research continues to show that engagement with the arts creates a stronger economy and benefits the quality of life for all.”
Michael Bruno, founder of 1stdibs.com and owner of Valley Rock Inn in Sloatsburg, delivered the keynote address, sharing his experiences as a creative business professional, and sharing his belief that the connection between business and creativity including his spiritual journey has helped guide him on his path to success.
