Art + Business + Mental Health Summit 2025

Art + Business + Mental Health Summit 2026

The arts are more than cultural enrichment—they are powerful tools for innovation, strategic thinking, and economic development. In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, the ability to approach challenges with creativity is not a luxury—it’s a competitive advantage.

The Wildhorse Cinema & Arts Summit is designed to bring together leaders in new mental health initiatives, business leaders and creative professionals to unlock new solutions through cross-sector collaboration. By leveraging the talents of artists and the insights of business minds, this summit creates fertile ground for innovation that benefits both industries and the broader Steamboat Springs community.

Info: Attendees from the arts and business sectors will anonymously share a key professional or organizational challenge on sticky notes—posted on designated walls for business and arts. Artists review business-submitted challenges and self-select areas where they can offer perspective. Breakout tables facilitate in-depth discussion, running in two 30-minute rotations to allow for a diversity of connections and ideas.

Info: The process reverses—business professionals engage with challenges submitted by the arts community, bringing their problem-solving, marketing, and strategic expertise to the table.

Info: Each group shares insights, proposed solutions, and potential partnerships. A moderator guides the room in identifying actionable next steps and avenues for ongoing collaboration.

Info: Time and Other Materials is a captivating exploration into the minds and hearts of five accomplished artists. Each with their unique perspective and medium - be it animation, ceramics, installation art, or large-scale sculpture - they unveil their inner worlds through a series of intimate studio sessions. This revealing documentary delves into their collective need to create and connect, not only with each other but with the broader world and beyond. Emphasizing themes such as discovery, mystery, femininity, and the vision of a better future, the film illustrates what it truly means to live a life devoted to creativity. Through five individual chapters filled with personal reflections and artistic processes, the documentary highlights the profound significance of art for both its creators and audience. Join us for this complimentary showing of the film as part of our first Art + Business Summit.
