Stockton University’s annual Arts and Culture Summit is expanding.
The third annual summit will be two days this year, with events at both the Galloway Township and Atlantic City campuses.
Sponsored by the School of Arts and Humanities, it begins at 2:30 p.m. Thursday with the 17th annual Paul Lyons Memorial Lecture in the Stockton Performing Arts Center on the Galloway campus.
Jane Golden, the founder and executive director of Mural Arts Philadelphia, will be the keynote speaker at the event that honors the legacy of a former Stockton professor.
A reception will follow from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Art Gallery.
The main part of the summit continues at 9 a.m. Friday in the Fannie Lou Hamer Room in the John F. Scarpa Academic Center at Stockton’s Atlantic City campus.
Golden also will speak at that event.
The summit also will feature panel discussions and breakout sessions focusing on cultural infrastructure as community anchors, public art as a civic voice and creative practices and public health.
There will be a workshop exploring the musical lineage of hip-hop and its roots in earlier Black music traditions.
The summit will end with a student hip-hop performance showcase.
