 Our early bird registration opportunity to save 20% off registration for the Oregon Arts Summit before we start spreading the word to broader groups runs through August 31, 2013.
Sold out the past four years, our annual one-day Summit has become known as the place where individuals and teams of staff and board come together for provocative learning exchanges that spark new insights and connections to their work.
As in previous years, the Summit will provide access to the latest thinking, research and trends related to the arts. Speakers will explore issues of the Summit theme, ‘Re-Thinking Engagement,’ by looking at creative placemaking, arts learning, access and equity, and technology and media. Featured presentations by leading national experts and Oregon innovators – within and outside the Arts sector – will be presented in plenary and break-out sessions.
A series of arts education sessions will bring together key Oregon education policy leaders, innovative school leaders and community partners to discuss how the arts engage students and transform learning.
In this track, Summit participants will hear from:
Nancy Golden, Interim Chief Education Officer, Oregon Education Investment Board Kim Patterson, Director of Educator Effectiveness, Oregon Department of Education Denise Grande, Director, LA Arts for All Jamie Hurd, Vice President of Programs, OMSI Whitney Grubbs, Policy Advisor, Oregon Education Investment Board Mark McCrary, Executive Director, Ross Ragland Theatre Turiya Autry, Education Director, Caldera
Two sessions will focus on Advocacy and Engagement.
Representative Peter Buckley, Co-Chair of the Oregon Legislature’s Ways & Means Committee, will talk about legislative issues and trends – and what they mean for the arts.
The Cultural Advocacy Coalition will present Advocacy 101, designed to help Summit participants advocate effectively on behalf of art and culture.
Former Oregon legislator Chris Beck, now Senior Projects Advisor (Sustainable Communities and Philanthropic Engagement), for the USDA, Office of the Under-Secretary for Rural Development, will talk about creative placemaking – especially in rural communities.
More Summit presenters will be announced later this week. |

The Oregon Arts Summit is convened by the Oregon Arts Commission. The Oregon Arts Commission (OAC) became part of the Oregon Business Development Department in 1993 in recognition of the expanding role the arts play in the broader social, economic and educational arenas of Oregon communities. The Commission is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Oregon Cultural Trust. |
