Following is the mission of the conference.

<<Join artists from across New England and around the world as they 
explore interdisciplinarity and contemporary art practices at the first 
Goddard College Interdisciplinary Artists Conference. This conference / 
retreat will allow participants to expand their core art practices 
through a variety of presentations, workshops, discussions, and 
restorative activities. This gathering will foster an exchange of 
resources and strategies for creating spaces for progressive, 
interdisciplinary art-making within an environment that nourishes the 
artist intellectually, spiritually and pragmatically.

Based on a participatory model of learning, this event seeks to 
actively question the notion of “expert and audience” by inviting all 
participants to engage in dialogue as both artists and as citizens. 
Participants will be encouraged to share their unique perspective, 
present and discuss their own work, and benefit from the feedback of a 
supportive audience of peers.

This year’s conference will feature Carol Becker, addressing the 
question of the artist as citizen.

The conference will be held at Goddard College, Plainfield, VT, from 
August 4th to August 8th 2003.

Goddard is a small college in rural Vermont for plain living and hard 
thinking. Founded in 1863, Goddard is recognized for innovation in 
education. Its mission is to advance the theory and practice of 
learning by undertaking new experiments based upon the ideals of 
democracy and the principles of progressive education first asserted by 
John Dewey. Goddard's students are regarded as unique individuals who 
take charge of their own learning and collaborate with other students, 
staff, and faculty to build a strong community. Goddard encourages 
students to become creative, passionate, lifelong learners, working and 
living with an earnest concern for others and for the welfare of the 
Earth.
