Subject: Do you want to present at the ArtPlace Summit May 2019?

 

Hello!

We want to know about the workshop ideas you would like to organize and lead at the ArtPlace Summit!

You are invited to submit a session that can help others in the ArtPlace community with their work. We are looking for participatory and impactful workshops that provide specific tools for all attendees.

The ArtPlace Summit gathers practitioners in creative peacemaking field from across the country. ArtPlace funded projects and organizations, foundation and research partners, and artists and leaders in every sector of community planning and development join from rural to urban communities, and everywhere in between. We want this brilliant group of people to provide useful, thought provoking workshops that will offer insights, knowledge, and strategies to help advance the work of their peers.

Workshops are for small groups (10-30 people), and should be a deep dive that give attendees key insights and practical tools to bring home to their work. They can also be facilitated as an intimate discussion among peers about managing mistakes, clearing hurdles and muddling through the messiness of working with communities.

Our friends at the National Consortium for Creative Placemaking are helping us run the RFP process. The sessions will be chosen based on a number of criteria, including how innovative, impactful, user-focused, and authentic the content and format is of each proposal. Based on results of a survey sent to the ArtPlace community, there is a lot of desire for workshops that address the following themes (to name a few):

  • Sharing Stories / Editorial Content
  • Community Engagement
  • Asset Mapping / Technologies
  • Anti-displacement Strategies
  • Leadership

The RFP can be found here and is due by March 22 at 11:59pm EST. If you have any questions, please direct them to Thomas Young

Once proposals are in, an advisory committee will review them, score them, and decide on the workshops that will create the highest level of impact for our participants. We will let you know whether or not your session is accepted by the first week of April.

As a reminder, if you have not registered for the ArtPlace Summit yet, please be sure to register by Friday, March 15.

Thank you so much for your time and we look forward to reading your proposal!
