2. ICE Conversation: Inlets Foundation for Experimental Practices
Wednesday, March 28 at Noon
Lamar Dodd Building Room S160
Inlets Foundation for Experimental Practices presents on their artistic practices, aesthetic philosophy, and concert programming. A Miami-based organization, Inlets organizes concert series that explore radical forms of sonic expression and unconventional performance contexts.
They perform their own works and that of other experimental artists from around the world. Their repertoire redefines the concert format, the role of the artist, and the relationship between artist, performer, and audience member. Many of their pieces are performed outdoors or in casual environments from inside retail stores to inside cars. Their art often has the effect of highlighting the profundity and complexity behind even the simplest performative actions and relationships.

5. Lecture: Robert Batchelor
Monday, April 2 at 4:30 PM
The Willson Center Digital Humanities Lab, Main Library
Robert Batchelor is professor of history and director of digital humanities at Georgia Southern University. He is the author of London: The Selden Map and the Making of a Global City, 1549-1689 (Chicago, 2014). With Sari Gilbert, he created the board game Fujian Trader (2016) based on his discovery of the Selden Map of China. A number of contemporary digital media works, such as Lisa Reihana's installation "In Pursuit of Venus [infected]/Emissaries" (2015-2017) and Tracy Fullerton's video game "Walden" (2017), have returned to panoramic strategies of representation to reimagine totalizing and seemingly transcendent concepts like empire and nature. Reihana's and Fullerton's approaches are partially archival, drawing directly on printed works produced during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and highlighting the uncertain line between virtual worlds and augmented archives.
The Georgia Colloquium in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century British Literature is supported by the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts and by the English Department's Rodney Baine Lecture Fund. UGA's History Department is a co-sponsor of Dr. Batchelor's lecture, which is free and open to the public.

12. Opportunity: Call for Artists: EARTH Party!
Deadline: March 30
http://www.creaturecomfortsbeer.com/brewery-blog/2018/3/15/call-for-artists-earth-party
Since April 2015, in honor of Earth Month - which encompasses Earth Day on 4/22 - Creature Comforts has hosted events and art exhibitions to celebrate our planet. Our hope is that, in the same way art can inspire us to feel, think, and respond in ways that better ourselves, these events will perhaps remind our visitors of the responsibility we share as caretakers of the environment. The Earth has been good to us. Let's be good to it.
This year, we're doing something a little different. In partnership with the University of Georgia's Office of Sustainability, Creature Comforts is proud to present EARTH Party on Sunday, April 15, 2018 (1- 6pm). The event will incorporate a one-day-only pop-up show of artwork celebrating our incredible world at Creature Comforts' downtown taproom. This pop-up show will be curated by the Office of Sustainability's current Artist-in-Residence, Kira Hegeman, and Madeline Bates, Creature Comforts' in-house curator.

13. Opportunity: North Oconee River Project
http://www.northoconeeriverproject.com/arts-project.html
The North Oconee River Project is a community-wide call for submissions of original projects that share knowledge, appreciation, experience, or attitudes towards the North Oconee River.
The North Oconee River Project invites the Athens community to submit proposals of artworks that celebrate the inherent rights of nature for inclusion in a site-specific event along the river and associated publication. Artworks should be inspired by nature and humanity's role within it, with special consideration given to works that demonstrate a knowledge, appreciation, experience, or attitude toward the North Oconee River. We invite submissions from any medium and practice inclusive of music, performance, poetry, visual art, prose and others.
Entries can fall under any discipline, can be presented in any format, and can use any medium. This includes but is not limited to all forms of material and digital art, performances of any kind, musical compositions, dance choreography, theatrical scripts, and fiction or non-fiction literature or films.
In addition, entries may be interdisciplinary in nature and may include information or materials from multiple disciplines and mediums. Entries both from individuals and collaborative teams of two or more people are welcome.
What is the selection process?
This event will take place along the North Oconee River, from Dudley Park to North Avenue at the North Oconee River Park. Performances will take place along the riverbed, and more stationary artworks will be exhibited in the park.
All proposals must be submitted online by March 31. There is no fee for submission. Proposals for funding will be considered on a rolling basis, so the earlier the submission the better.
This project is made possible by the support of the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru), Ideas for Creative Exploration (ICE), Watershed UGA, and Willson Center for Humanities and Arts at the University of Georgia.

14. Call for Proposals: a2ru 2018 National Conference
"Arts Environments: Design, Resilience, and Sustainability"
November 1-3, 2018
Hosted by the University of Georgia
https://a2ru.org/events/2018-national-conference/
Deadline: Friday, April 6
The 2018 theme, "Arts Environments: Design, Resilience, and Sustainability," is an invitation to explore the relationship between creativity and diverse cultural locations, by framing discussions about design, resilience, and sustainability in context of interdisciplinary artistic and environmental practice. The theme offers an opportunity to think broadly about the ecology of the arts and their environments, in terms of performance, design, and engineering. A land and sea grant institution inextricable from the town of Athens and the broader ecologies of Georgia and the Southeast, the University of Georgia will provide a rich context for thinking creatively about Arts Environments globally.
a2ru invites proposals for presentations from researchers, field leaders, and practitioners about arts-integrative research, practice, and curricula that explore the intersections, synergies, and interfaces between arts, environments, and their influence on design, resilience, and sustainability. Presentations vary in length and number of participants. We accept panel, paper, performance, and working group proposals. a2ru encourages proposals featuring panelists who are diverse in their backgrounds, pursuits, affiliations, locations, and ages. The ideal panel discussion will consist of participants who represent a broad range of perspectives and experiences, and represent more than one institution.
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) is a partnership of institutions committed to ensuring the greatest possible institutional support for the full spectrum of arts and arts-integrative research, curricula, programs, and creative practice for the benefit of all students and faculty at research universities and the communities they serve.
