Creative Communities Conference
Due to its rich history of Heritage Arts, Greensboro has been involved in a number of Art and Community centric activities since the early 70's.
In 1994, The Nathanael Greene Historical Foundation (NGHF) was recognized as a formal 501 (c)3 chartered with the support and preservation of cultural activities and history in the region.
In 2005, NGHF refined its scope to develop an annual conference and arts festival called the "Creative Communities Conference" and the "Art Blast on the Mon" now in its third year.
In 2008, our Creative Communities Initiative has been expanded to include Monthly Seminars known as designed to discuss emerging activities and developments in sustainable communities, arts education, networks, co-op marketing and a number of growing areas valuable to rural communities that seek to attract artists, services, and tourism to their community.
From the beginning, the Creative Communities Conference has sought to promote, educate, and inspire communities and individuals with a concept built upon the creative economy. In today's global market, successful communities realize that the creative economy consists of occupations in the arts, science, technology, engineering and math as well as management, education and others.
These occupations focus on individuals who are paid to “think” for a living. People that benefit from places that provide the resources, technology, regional assets, diversity and community to further develop their skills. This concept is supported this year by keynote speaker Lou Musante, expanded venues, and hosting with our regional educational institutions, Waynesburg University, and Westmoreland Community College, Greene County.
We believe that all communities have the ability to build on their assets, create realistic goals, stimulate residents, and become part of the global community. It is these ideals that we wish to share with others through these meetings, seminars and festivals. Join us in celebrating the potential we share.

Greensboro
has been involved in a number of Art and Community centric activities
since the early 70's. In 1994, The Nathanael Greene Historical
Foundation (NGHF) was recognized as a formal 501 (c)3 chartered with
the support and preservation of cultural activities and history in the
area. In 2005, NGHF refined its scope to develop a well received
annual conference and arts festival called the "Creative Communities
Conference" and the "Art Blast on the Mon".
Now in 2008, the
Creative Communities has been expanded to a series of Monthly Seminars
known as "Second Saturdays" designed to discuss emerging activities
and developments in sustainable communities, arts education, networks,
co-op marketing and a number of growing areas valuable to rural
communities seeking to attract artists, services, and individuals to
their community.
