Registration is now open for the 80th annual Conference for Community Arts Education to be held in San Francisco and Oakland, November 15-18, 2017. Over 800 arts education leaders and stakeholders, representing more than 350 arts education organizations and agencies from across the U.S., will convene at the Westin St. Francis Hotel and at arts organizations throughout the Bay Area, to gain practical strategies, share advice, and collaborate to increase the positive impact of arts learning on individual lives and healthy communities across the country. This year’s conference will focus on leadership development, organizational sustainability, and the vital role that arts education plays in promoting healing, human development, and racial equity. The conference program features sessions, roundtables, and special events in Creative Youth Development, Leadership Development, Arts in Education, Community Partnerships, Arts Management, Arts and Healing, and Social Justice. Special early registration pricing offers substantial savings and is available until September 7. For program details and registration, visit www.communityartsed.org. Program Highlights:
The Conference for Community Arts Education is the leading national gathering for nonprofit arts education leaders representing arts and cultural centers, community arts schools, preparatory programs, performing arts companies, youth serving organizations (e.g., Boys and Girls Clubs of America), museums, and other agencies. Some organizations provide classes and lessons in their own facilities; others collaborate with senior centers, hospitals, public schools, and other agencies to increase access to arts education. Many do both. This diversity of backgrounds creates unique opportunities for delegates to connect with peers, explore new partnerships, and grow. Funders, policy makers, academics, researchers, and other allies, including those in non-arts sectors (e.g., youth development, health, education, etc.), are also encouraged to attend. Ensuring that all people enjoy access to quality arts learning opportunities throughout their lifespans requires a collective effort.
Major supporters of the National Conference include Adobe Foundation, Aroha Philanthropies, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, The Music Man Foundation, The Royal Conservatory of Music, San Francisco Arts Commission, and TriNet.
