Details for the 2009 Americans for the Arts convention program can now be found online. The event, Renewable Resources: Arts in Sustainable Communities will convene arts and cultural professionals from across the country in Seattle, Washington to network and participate in over 75 field-crafted sessions—plus the opportunity to see the Public Art Year in Review and hear from keynote speakers.
This year, Americans for the Arts will again present a Civic Engagement Track. Featured Innovator Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, founder and artistic director of Urban Bush Women, will offer an inside look on this ground-breaking dance company’s investment in fostering civic and community engagement in its own community of Brooklyn through programs and its summer institute. Sessions in the Civic Engagement Track will present innovative practices, new research, and evolving models to help position artists and arts organizations as leaders and partners in advancing civic participation and a culture of engagement.
Further information about additional program tracks—including the Diverse Cultures and Public Art Program Tracks—convention schedule, and registration is available online. Deadline for early-bird registration is February 23, 2008.
