This Friday, July 31, is the early registration deadline for the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts’ 72nd annual Conference for Community Arts Education, to be presented November 11-14 in Minneapolis.
National Guild of Community Schools in the Arts
Presented annually, the conference provides essential professional development and networking opportunities for staff, teaching artists and trustees in community arts education. This year’s conference program will focus on how to sustain your programs and organization during tough economic times and make the case for your work by demonstrating its impact and value. You’ll have the chance to network with more than 500 of your peers and bring home innovative new strategies for fundraising, cost-savings, marketing, community engagement and more.
There will be lots of wonderful speakers including Randy Cohen (Americans for the Arts), Gigi Antoni (City of Dallas’ Big Thought arts education program), Bill Ivey (former Chair of the National Endowment for the Arts), Donna Walker-Kuhne (national leader in audience development and arts marketing), and many others. We’ve also planned a “creative aging institute” in partnership with Minnesota Creative Arts and Aging Network and the National Center for Creative Aging as well as a “rural institute” in partnership with LaMoine MacLaughlin, director of the Northern Lakes Center for the Arts in Amery, WI.
