makeCHANGE
Art transforms the world around us. As artist-educators, we "make CHANGE" by innovating for positive change.
MAKEchange
Art cultivates presence. As artist-educators, we also "MAKE change" through engaging in making to elicit change in self and others.
The 2017 MAEA Conference theme brings attention to art as a catalyst for change outward, in the world around us, and inward, as a powerful force for effecting change and nurturing presence within ourselves and our students.Art education talks, innovative teaching practice, hands-on workshops, and demonstration lessons that show the power of art to bring about positive change-in classrooms, schools, museums, local communities, and beyond-are the central focus of this year's conference.
How have you and your colleagues used art to effect positive change?
How have you used art to respond to change in light of today's social and cultural concerns, educational climate, political climate, environmental concerns, and global issues?
How has artistic practice-either your own or the practice you nurture in your students-opened doors to greater self-awareness, presence, and reflection?
We invite you to share your expertise with the MAEA community by submitting a conference proposal. The proposal process has been streamlined and requires answering 4 key questions (just 50 words each) and is aligned to NAEA's scoring rubric.
Submit your proposal here.
