The 2012 conference will feature professional development sessions on an array of key issues in the field of community arts education, e.g., program development, collaboration, evaluation and research, partnership, governance, advocacy, leadership, management, development and marketing. Sessions are led by expert practitioners, master trainers and researchers who tailor their presentations to meet the specific needs of community arts education providers.
Videos of our 2011 keynote speakers, Will Power and Eric Booth, are available online. Through performance and dialogue, Will Power makes the case that the foundation for a better future for our society lies in our ability as artists, educators and activists to engage youth and harness their unique creativity. Eric Booth discusses the need for us, the arts sector, to come out of our "silos" (as diverse organizations, disciplines, etc.) to identify and act upon our common ground.
