By Ann Brown, Suzanne Lynch and Nieya Wallace Murray, TN Arts Conference Chairs –
The TN Arts biennial statewide arts and arts education conference is planned for June 20 and 21, 2018 on the campus of Austin Peay State University (APSU) in partnership with the Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts (CECA, or “seek-ah”). Conference activities will utilize several of the buildings on campus including the new Art + Design Building.
As in the past, the conference will bring together arts administrators, educators and artists for a full two days of learning and sharing around the theme of Design Thinking, an approach that can be used in all industries to consider and resolve a variety of issues. Professional development will include best practices, strategies in arts management and education, lesson demonstrations, collaborative work, networking and more.
Special Opportunity Grants will be offered beginning March 1, 2018, to those who want to attend the conference. The grant will be applied to conference costs and is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The commuter rate for the conference is $150.00 and the non-commuter rate is $200, which includes campus accommodations. Registration will open March 15, 2018.
We hope you will mark your calendars and plan to join us in Clarksville.
