> Dear Colleagues,
>
> I am sending you the link for an upcoming conference as I feel that 
> many of your faculty and graduate students engaged in arts and 
> interdisciplinary arts production, arts education and related areas 
> will be interested in submitting a proposal for presentation and also 
> attending the conference.  The conference is to be held May 9 - 12, 
> 2007 at the University of Regina, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The 
> conference is titled "Crossing Boundaries: Investigating the Nexus 
> Among Arts, Education, and Community."

>
> The conference provides an opportunity for actors, artists, arts 
> educators, dancers, musicians, policymakers, scholars and writers to 
> come together and share creative ideas, processes and works of art.  
> It is also a good time to network with artists and educators from 
> other arts areas and to plan future developments with funders, program 
> developers and administrators at the local, provincial, national and 
> international level.
>
> The deadline for proposals is November 30, 2006.
>
> There is also a pre-conference workshop (May 8-9) on Arts-Based 
> Research, facilitated by Dr. Karen Bond from Temple University in 
> Philadelphia. http://www.temple.edu/boyer/appdev/dport.asp?portID=393
> Her workshop description says, "In arts education, creative 
> alternative ways of conceptualizing, analyzing, interpreting and 
> representing research has increasingly taken centre stage in 
> university programs, conferences and scholarly journals. In this 
> workshop Dr. Karen Bond will lead an exploration and commentary on 
> arts-based methodologies and studies."
>
> I would appreciate you forwarding this message to your faculty 
> members, graduate students and to others who you think would be 
> interested in the conference.
>
> Thanks,
>
