OVERVIEW
In line with this year's theme, Urban Arts Education Landscape, members will benefit from ASN's association with local professional arts organizations including museums, symphonies, and theatres with a particular focus on successful community partnerships. Special features will include a presentation and walking tour of the city's spectacular Millennium Park as well as visits to the Chicago Academy of the Arts, the Center for Community Arts Partnerships, ChiArts, and a special early morning tour of the Art Institute of Chicago.
ASN has also been working closely with Columbia College Chicago, the title sponsor of the conference. Columbia College is in an eclectic, urban environment located in the city's historic South Loop neighborhood. Close by are several other colleges and universities, the Art Institute, the Field Museum, the Chicago Symphony, and the Museum of Contemporary Art. Attendees will also have access to theaters, bookstores, nightclubs, concert venues, museums, and media outlets throughout all of Chicago.
The ASN annual conference is a terrific opportunity for arts schools leaders to network, share best practices, and recognize and reward talented students, exemplary schools and arts leaders.
