Summit Labs
Summit Labs are the heartbeat of our event and are presented by the Song Summit Foundation. They are discussions that dissect, illuminate, and interrogate the art of music and songwriting. They create an environment of inclusivity that promotes discussion of mental health, food & culture, representation, and social equity in addition to all things music. A diverse group of artists will lead talks on their own, while others will work with subject experts. Labs take place at Jim Santy Auditorium in the City Park Library or at Song Summit Village at Library Field.
