First, former Writing Fellow Katherine Gressel is presenting on her evaluation research during the Public Art Preconference on Friday, June 14 from 9-10:15am at a session called “Like • Comment • Share.” Later that day, I’ll be moderating and presenting at “The one about your community’s cultural ecosystem” from 4:30-6pm. And finally, Talia Gibas will drop some knowledge at “The one about how community partnerships can advance arts education” [yes, all the titles are like that] on Saturday the 15th from 10-11:30am.)
