3 People Who Convene Creative Spaces

Posted By Morgan on May 29, 2009

After talking with Alex Steed at the recent NY24, I was inspired to write a post about other people who convene spaces around the arts, technology and social innovation.

Here’s a few links to folks who are doing similar:

  • Dan McQuillan – totally cool cat.  Met him at 1st Netsquared Conference and stayed connected ever since.  Fan of Deleuze and Guatarri.  Particle physics fan and social innovation activist.  He runs a thing called SICamp which rocks.
  • Duncan Laurie – don’t know him personally, but he holds a thing called MindMeld in Jamestown, Rhode Island.  A weekend long ‘jam’ of electronic audio/video artists that get together in a *beautiful* setting to meet with each other and share, jam and learn about the connection between nature and music.  Beautiful.  Can I say that again?
  • Dewey Schott – Director of Leadership Services at the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture.  He runs something called the NAMAC Leadership Institute, which is a week(?) long retreat of leaders in the field of media arts.  I used to work alongside him, but now just get to see him convene arts leaders from around the country.  Awe shucks.

What other types of space exist out there?  Have you come across any?
