Catherine Ring and I are in Denver for the Assessment in the Arts Conference being held at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design which starts today. Our adventure started yesterday morning when our plane was delayed in Portland which caused us to miss our connecting flight in Cleveland. We finally got to our hotel last night at 12:45 Maine time.
We are looking forward to the full schedule with interesting workshops and presenters including three keynote sessions. You can read more about the event by clicking here. I will post tomorrow to provide the highlights of today. Tomorrow Catherine and I present on the Maine Arts Assessment Initiative and the work many of you are doing throughout the state in arts assessment.
It has been 33 years since I’ve been to this part of Colorado and it certainly has changed. Denver is very large and everyone has been very friendly and welcoming!
Best wishes for a dynamic and fulfilling presentation………wondering about all the amazing information you and Catherine are going to bring back….
How can we bring Olivia Gude to Maine?
Catherine attended her workshop this afternoon and loved it. Tonight Olivia gave one of her two keynotes on community mural projects – truly amazing! You obviously are aware of Olivia’s work. Please tell the meartsed readers how you know of her work Suzanne.
On another note, the air is dry and hot (101 degrees) today. Wowzer!
