Spirit & Place Public Conversation

The Spirit & Place Public Conversation is an on-stage dialogue featuring three nationally-known speakers from the worlds of arts, civics, and religion. Some call the Conversation “the intellectual highlight of the year” in Indianapolis. Attending the Conversation is a little like eavesdropping on a juicy chat between three powerful thinkers who would never otherwise meet. The Public Conversation sets the stage for the festival’s annual theme and serves as the centerpiece for Spirit & Place.
