Sessions
2007 Plenary: Jeffry Walker, Chike Nwoffiah, Bau Graves, and Josephine Ramirez
The Conference for Community Arts Education features dozens of professional development workshops, roundtables and program showcases. Expert practitioners and master trainers will facilitate conference sessions tailored specifically for community arts education leaders.
PROGRAM TRACKS
This year’s conference program will focus on issues of quality, access, collaboration and sustainability in community arts education. We will also investigate how the arts are effectively employed in the fields of community development, youth development and creative aging. Hot topics include determining program impact, internet marketing and making the case for community arts education.
As in the past, the conference program will be divided into progressive tracks. These include:
- Program Development, Assessment and Evaluation
- Leadership and Governance
- Development and Marketing
- Collaboration and Community Engagement
We’ll hear from leading researchers and theorists and investigate high-performing programs. And we’ll talk with those on the cutting edge of engaging Americans in the arts throughout their life-spans.
While this year’s program is still being developed, you can get a sense of the breadth and quality of program offerings by visiting our 2007 conference site, or by downloading the 2007 Program Book.
