Save the dates — if you haven’t already — for the tenth One State Together in the Arts conference, coming to Galesburg October 22 and 23, with a preconference for members of the Local Arts Network on October 21.

• Collaborations beyond the creative sector in agriculture, human services, immigration, journalism, and the justice system
• Building platforms and resources for people of color and the organizations they lead, as well as for historically underrepresented forms of expression
• The importance of arts education in workforce development and 21st century skill-building
