Rapid developments
in the 21st century are creating opportunities and challenges for arts and
education professionals. We are confronted by environmental issues, developing
technology, globalisation and changes to political agendas and
policies.
This year?s
engage/enquire International Conference will consider how those working in the
visual arts and education can be best equipped to influence change now and in
the future.
How do
artists and arts organisations respond to global and national changes? What are
the opportunities and responsibilities for arts educators resulting from these
changes?
Can the sector influence political agendas and
environmental issues, and does it have a responsibility to influence what is
going on in the wider world?
How might the arts, audiences and
resources reshape in response to environmental and technological as well as
financial changes, and how can the arts be resilient and sustainable?
A lively programme of talks and breakout sessions will
take place, and there?ll be plenty of opportunities to catch up with colleagues
and see the British Art Show 7.
