Full access to the 5 day virtual event costs $150. Individual session access costs $25 per session, this option will not be immediately available. We anticipate launching this option in March 2021.

We are pleased to offer a discount for both practicing artists in any artistic discipline and enrolled students. For a discount code granting $50 off the full National Arts Action Digital Summit registration fee, those who qualify should email events@artsusa.org.

Due to these extraordinary times, we recognize that there are those who would not be able to join us if not for the opportunity of full registration support.  Though our request deadline for full registration support has passed, if you are in need of support please send a request to events@artsusa.org.  

To register for the event, click here for the registration webpage.

For assistance with registration, please view the ArtsU Tech Support Page. For additional support, you may email events@artsusa.org.

Support is available for those who are unable to access resources for a paid registration to the 2021 National Arts Action Summit. Thanks to the continued commitment from this year’s organizational partners —and in response to the financial challenges that many are facing due to the COVID-19 Pandemic – opportunities for full registration support are available for anyone who would otherwise be unable to participate.
