Dallas Arts Ed Leaders! Help Shape the 2019 Conference for Community Arts Education
March 1, 2019; 9:30am–1:00pm
Latino Cultural Center, Dallas, TX
The National Guild for Community Arts Education, the Texas Commission on the Arts, and the Texas Cultural Trust are pleased to invite you to participate in the upcoming planning meeting for the 2019 Conference for Community Arts Education. The Conference will be held in Austin, October 30–November 2.
As a national organization, we have the privilege of bringing together arts education leaders from around the country through our annual conference. This spring, we are hosting planning meetings across Texas to connect the Guild to critical issues and opportunities affecting the field regionally and help identify local organizations, thought leaders, and artists to highlight during the program. We are reaching out to those on the ground—the practitioners doing the remarkable, day-to-day work of transforming communities through the arts—to build a collective vision for what this conference can achieve.
Our Dallas meeting will be at the Latino Cultural Center on Friday, March 1, 9:30am–1:00pm, and will include a complimentary networking lunch.
