ArtsAbly's Bulletin
|
|
|
Dear followers, dear friends,
|
January was a busy month. We released new episodes of our podcast ArtsAbly in Conversation and worked hard to prepare our upcoming symposium in partnership with the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, on February 27 and 28. You will find all relevant links in this newsletter.
|
Now more than ever, we need to show the power of our communities. ArtsAbly's aim, along with many of our colleagues in the artistic, educational, and nonprofit worlds, is to highlight the works of our amazing artists and scholars. The upcoming symposium is a great opportunity to bring the East coast and West coast of Canada together, and to invite scholars and artists from diverse horizons to expose their ideas, their arts, their passions. I am grateful for this partnership between ArtsAbly and UBC. Please join us. Registration is free, and the symposium is hybrid.
