The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) invites you to the 2020 a2ru national conference, Land and Equity: The Art and Politics of Place, to be held online and hosted by the University of Wisconsin - Madison, October 15-30, 2020. All sessions will be held via Zoom. The a2ru National Conference is an opportunity for practitioners and researchers from across the higher education spectrum to share innovations and perspectives in the arts.
The 2020 theme, Land & Equity, considers how our work as artistic, scientific, and humanist researchers and educators is defined by the land on which we find ourselves, and asks who has access to that land and its resources? In turn, we will examine how our art, research, and teaching impacts the places and spaces in which we live and work, and discuss ways that we can use that work to advance more equitable access.
This year's conference features special registration pricing for this virtual experience. Attendees will also have the option to register for an unlimited session pass or for individual sessions or keynote presentations.
a2ru advances the full range of arts and design-integrative research, curricula, programs, and creative practice from across the disciplines in order to acknowledge, articulate, and expand the vital role of higher education in our global society. a2ru's work, in partnership with more than 35 research institutions, envisions a world in which universities -- students, faculty, and leaders -- explore, embed, and integrate the arts in everyday practice and research. The a2ru National Conference is an opportunity for practitioners and researchers from across the higher education spectrum to share innovations and perspectives in the arts.

4. a2ru webinar: Thinking Outside the Classroom Creative Approaches to Online Teaching Part 1
Tuesday, September 1 at 2 PM
Registration:
https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sOks-gWNTta-gqGx97frHw
In this special two-part series, we will be bringing together panelists who may not share disciplines, but are connected by their unique approach to the difficulties posed by the shift to remote and hybrid classes. Part I, moderated by Carole Woodlock (Professor, Fine Art Photography, Rochester Institute of Technology), features three instructors who teach in fields that people see as inextricably linked to the "in-person" experience: Ceramics, Glass, and Experiential Learning. These panelists will offer practical strategies for how to teach studio-based classes online as well as transferring the value of experiential learning to remote education. They will also discuss how instructors can humanize the experience of teaching art online; what students really need from art education; the ultimate goals of experiential learning; and some of the opportunities and benefits that have presented themselves as instructors look for alternative teaching resources.

Each year two recipients will be honored; one in September and the other in April. Each session will last six months with an event at the end of the year to celebrate both artists. This award will be accompanied by a curated mentorship with a professional artist based in Athens for each grant recipient. Each mentor and mentee will work together on a project of their own choosing.

7. ASU-Leonardo Imagination Fellowship
Deadline: Sunday, September 6
https://www.leonardo.info/opportunity/asu-leonardo-imagination-fellowship
ASU-Leonardo and the Center for Science and the Imagination (CSI) are proud to announce the Leonardo Imagination Fellowship Program in fall 2020. Fellows selected to participate in this prototype season of the fellowship will join a virtual program to explore experimental ArtScience innovation practices, across multiple publishing and broadcast media platforms, that imagine a regenerative, vibrant global future for all. Fellows will propose and carry out hybrid creative projects and activities that integrate art & science for positive global impact (spanning local to planetary scope) aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We will support experimental work, especially across new and emerging media or publishing, to model new ways that ArtScience can advance resilience, justice, empathy, cooperation, generosity, trust, and other qualities that make social systems and digital culture more human and more humane. Through the fellowship we hope not just to advance individual projects but also to support collaborations that connect diverse communities of practice and interest as well as the existing networks of Leonardo and CSI together for dialog, engagement, and empowerment.
