***Call for Participation: Hyphenated American***
Last year's "Hyphenated American" project, supported by an Idea Lab Mini-Grant, was a great success featuring visual art, poetry, new music compositions, and guest lecturers who came together for a show focused on Latinos in the U.S. This April,"Hyphenated American" is returning with a broader focus to amplify the voices of immigrants, refugees, and hyphenated Americans of every culture. If you are an ally, we want to hear from you too!
What are we looking for? Creative responses to the theme "Diversity enriches the U.S." Submissions can be in any of the arts including dance, visual art, film, music, and poetry! As a Hyphenated American you have a unique voice and a unique message. Share it in a show that unites people in an increasingly divisive climate.
Send a sample or description of your project idea by March 28 to Monique Osorio: <[log in to unmask]>
Oh and by the way, what is a hyphenated American? Well, you know.. Latin-American, Arab- American, Muslim-American, African-American, to name a few, but you get the idea.

1. ICE Workshop: Unsolved: Math + Design
Saturday, April 8 from 9:45 AM - 3:30 PM
Lamar Dodd Building Room S160
To register please contact <[log in to unmask]>
Free!
"Unsolved: Math + Design" is an interdisciplinary workshop for math, art, and design research, with the goal of making a product to be used in math outreach contexts. This workshop will engage the public in thinking about unsolved problems in mathematics, and participants will take part in problem solving to discover the intersection between math and design.
It will include three sessions: design, math, and synthesis. In the design session, participants will collaborate on drawings by using a conditional design method. In the math session, they will try to solve an unsolved math problem in a collaborative setting. In the synthesis session, they will design and build a final product by combining the two perspectives as they experience the process of shared problem solving.

3. ICE Reading Room: Tech Start-Ups Have Become Conceptual Art
"The potential gutting of the NEA is worthy of concern and lamentation. But equally important, and no less disturbing, is the fact that the role of art, in part, had already shifted from the art world to the business world anyway. In particular, the formal boundary-pushing central to experimental and conceptual artists might have been superseded by the conceptual efforts of entrepreneurship."

mild climate is a curatorial collective that aims to support experimentation, facilitate a dialogue between local and international emerging artists, and cultivate a contemporary art scene in Nashville, TN. Founded in 2014 as The Packing Plant, the project began as a series of pop-up exhibitions in the raw and unfinished building of the same name. In 2016, the name of mild climate was taken up, transforming into a collective with an interest in alternative programming as well as traditional gallery exhibitions. The goal of the workshop is to create, edit, and publish an exhibition catalog (read:zine) to accompany the exhibition at the Finishing School. Participants can expect to learn about artists' collectives and the challenges and benefits of collaborative publishing.

8. a2ru National Conference
Arts in the Public Sphere: Civility, Advocacy, and Engagement
November 1-4, 2017
Deadline: April 7
Boston, MA
http://a2ru.org/events/2017-national-conference/
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) is pleased to announce the 2017 a2ru National Conference, hosted by the Northeastern University with additional conference events throughout hosted by Boston University, Massachusetts Institute for Technology, and Tufts University.
Arts in the Public Sphere: Civility, Advocacy, and Engagement will use the city of Boston as a starting point for discussion and engagement. As a 21st century global city, Boston embodies many of the issues that drive diverse contemporary cultural contexts. It supports a rich and continually evolving sense of civic realms, and is home to leading arts, educational, medical, industrial and corporate entities invested in innovative modes of research, practice and civic participation. There is also clear recognition that the 'public sphere' is not confined to large metropolitan regions. Creating dynamic communities that engage and extend beyond traditional boundaries - in both virtual and material ways - remains a growing challenge and the work before us.
a2ru invites proposals from researchers, field leaders, and practitioners investigating the intersections, synergies, and interfaces of arts in the public sphere and their influence on civility, advocacy, and engagement. We seek proposals from: university-level faculty, administrators, and students, as well as civic leaders and representatives from industry, private enterprise, sectors outside the arts that incorporate the arts and design in their work, and public/private arts, culture, and civic organizations. We invite proposals from researchers, field leaders, and practitioners around the 2017 them and/or that address issues relevant to the mission of a2ru.
FORMATS FOR PARTICIPATION
Papers or alternative equivalents such as performances or time-based media presentations. 3-4 papers/performances/presentations will be grouped by the selection committee into 90-minute sessions around common themes.
Discussion panels. Panels should focus around a conference-themed topic and include a moderator and at least 3 panelists; each panelist is encouraged to offer a brief position paper or introductory presentation to uniquely enhance audience discussion. Panels should build in a direct dialog interface with attendees within an overall 90-minute session.
Working groups. Groups provide opportunity for immersive work sessions that participants sign up for in advance of the conference. Proposals should include a focus topic in relation to the conference themes as well as the intended working methods and outcomes of the group process.
Proposals will be reviewed and accepted through a blind peer review process by a2ru partner scholars, practitioners, and researchers.
