Leadership.  Innovative Problem Solving.  Creating Community.

The Midwest Arts XPO, established by the Heartland Performing Arts in June 2022 by a coalition of leading performing arts professionals, has rapidly evolved into a premier industry conference. This dynamic event fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth within the performing arts sector, providing a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and artistic development. Attendees can expect a rich program featuring guest speakers, professional development, and opportunities to connect with fellow performing arts industry leaders. 

We hope you will consider becoming an annual donor and help facilitate arts programming that enriches thousands of communities.
