Where Is Community Arts Development Headed?
Altering the Face and the Heart of America: The Gard Symposium
September 24-25, 2010
Lowell Center, UW-Madison Campus
Madison, Wisconsin

Robert Gard once wrote, "If you try, you can indeed alter the face and the heart of America."  You have seen it happen time and again.  It is why you work as an artist or arts administrator or community volunteer.  You know the power of community arts development to create healthy communities.  You know the rich history of the field. 

In September 2010, the Arts Board began to look forward, to envision a thriving future - for the community arts development field and for our communities.  It was time to embrace the rich, rural roots of this movement, and to proclaim the power of this work in urban neighborhoods and diverse communities.  It was time to come together, to dream, to think, to act.
