Thank you all for a fantastic retreat. It was inspiring to see all of you in one room making some revolutionary art and curriculum.
We'll send a recap of the retreat soon via email, and will also schedule follow up sessions for those that missed all or part of the retreat.
And don't forget to turn in your curriculum by Nov 9th!
Also, here's a fun place to see what other projects are out in the feild by discipline, population, or social context. It's called Community Arts Network and it's great.

The Promise of Arts Education
After our panel on The Promise of Arts Education, we received a tremendous response from teaching artists.
We've decided to widen the circle of conversation, and throughout this year you'll be meeting in your cohorts as researchers.
What do we want to achieve in our profession?
Where do we see the field in ten years?
How do we continue to influence education by doing much with little?
What do you want to share that's really cool in your practice, what do you want to learn from your peers?
We'll be talking more, but can't do much without you. Let us know what you think, where you'd like to have this conversation, and how often.

20UNDER40 online salon
Emerging Leaders Salon on ARTSblog
Are the voices of emerging leaders in the arts too loud or not loud enough? The grumblings of both young arts practitioners and discerning seasoned veterans raise a number of important questions: Are we squelching the voices of emerging professionals in the arts field? And are we causing an exodus of committed young talent to leave the field for work in other domains?For the first time in history there are four generational cohorts in the workplace. The residual clash of generational perspectives has surfaced a number of undeniable challenges—and opportunities—for arts professionals and organizations. Unlike other industries, the arts sector seems to be struggling particularly hard with the inevitable generational shift in leadership.
Join the Arts Education and Emerging Leaders Council of Americans for the Arts and the 20UNDER40 anthology for the Emerging Leaders Salon on ARTSblog http://blog.artsusa.org/category/emerging-leaders/ the week of October 19-23. Fifteen diverse arts professionals from across the country will discuss the question of generational leadership in the arts and it isthrough your comments and questions that this dialogue can grow.
Are you a young arts leader? Does the field value your creativity, innovation, and professional experience?
Are you a veteran arts practitioner? Does this view of the field as an entity unable to let loose the reigns of leadership resonate with you?Is the arts field successful in its attempt to foster young leaders? Is something out of synch with our planning for succession—or is it an unwarranted overdose of arrogance being exercised by those new to the field?
