6. ICE Reading Room: How Can Ecological Artists Move Beyond Aesthetic Gestures?
"If art is to be relevant to the environment, it cannot remain only in an art context or in dialogue with art history. The vast majority of writings about land art in the American West is focused entirely on its art-ness, whether through an aesthetic, art-historical, or human interest lens. Where is the geologic activity? Where are the Native Americans? Where are the watersheds? In order to be relevant to the issues plaguing our world today -- such as the prevalence of plastics, or climate change -- we need writing that contextualizes these artworks within a deep reading of the land itself."

9. UGA Idea Accelerator
Deadline: September 14
https://www.fourathens.com/accelerator/
UGA's Idea Accelerator is designed to determine if your concept can develop from an idea on the back of a napkin into a scalable business. Leveraging its decades of lessons learned from building successful startups, Georgia Tech's Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) - the Idea Accelerator's sponsor - will validate your idea in eight weeks. Now entering its fourth year, the Idea Accelerator has worked with more than 100 teams in the Athens area to test the viability of their ideas. During the eight-week validation process, you will utilize ATDC's proven methods and tools to test your ideas, interact with customers, and pitch others to join you. ATDC's successful entrepreneurs and subject matter experts will also vet and validate your financial assumptions. For the eight-week duration, all Idea Accelerator participants are expected to openly and honestly engage and interact with one another, with mentors, and ATDC's experts.

11. a2ru National Conference
November 1-4
Northeastern University, Boston, MA
Registration now open
http://a2ruevents.wixsite.com/a2ruboston
The 2017 theme, "Arts in the Public Sphere: Civility, Advocacy, and Engagement," will use the city of Boston as a starting point for discussion and engagement surrounding creative placemaking. 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.
The a2ru Student Travel Grant Program is open to any undergraduate or graduate student currently attending a partner institution who would like to attend the annual a2ru conference. Grants of up to $250 will be awarded. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and only a limited number are available for each a2ru conference event.
