Program Planning Meeting

On Feb. 22, the Guild hosted a meeting in San Francisco to plan the conference program. The 50 participants identified a host of opportunities and challenges confronting community arts education providers. We have synthesized the notes from the discussion into questions that will inform the development of the conference program.
