December Professional Development Opportunities
Webinars
Public Art 101 for Artists
Registration Deadline: Wednesday, December 3, 2008, 12:00 p.m. EST
Participants will learn the basic "nuts and bolts" of the field of public art. The 90-minute webinar will cover some of the unique skills required for art-making in the public realm including an overview of public art and the public realm, project examples, programs, funding, implementation, and resources for further study. Two case studies will be presented which explore the experiences of two artists who have transitioned from the studio/gallery to the public realm. The webinar is suited for administrators interested in better understanding the artists' experience as well as artists exploring public art as a profession.
Presented by: Charlotte Cohen, Regional Fine Arts Officer, General Services Administration, New York, and Porter Arneill, Director/Public Art Administrator, Municipal Art Commission, Kansas City, MO
Leadership in Tough Times

The Qualities of Quality
Registration Deadline: Wednesday, December 17, 2008, 12:00 p.m. EST
Understanding the challenge of creating and sustaining high quality formal arts learning experiences for K–12 youth, inside and outside of school, is the focus of a recent study, The Qualities of Quality: Excellence in Arts Education and How to Achieve It, commissioned by The Wallace Foundation and conducted by Project Zero at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. In this webinar, we will share the findings of this study and introduce some of the tools developed by the research team for use by practitioners committed to examining and improving the quality of the arts learning experiences they provide for young people.
Presented by: Steve Seidel, Director, Harvard Project Zero and Director, Arts in Education Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education
