How can we foster and amplify the long-marginalized histories that have the potential for transforming the field of art education?
How do we generate new interpretations of international histories of art and design education to create diverse connections and ways of knowing for global art education in the 21st century?
How meaning is produced in historical research and representations locally and globally?

The Future of Learning
Resources for Art Museum and Medical School Partnerships
“Medical students, interns, residents, and fellows are taught to look at works of art and in turn relate these skills to their own professional practices. By doing so, they develop observation, interpretation, empathy, and collaboration skills in order to enhance their clinical diagnosis and practices.
The following resources have been collected from participants in the field.”

“Like so many of you, we were deeply saddened to learn of the dissolution of the New Media Consortium (NMC) in December. I shared at the time our intention to complete the Horizon Report: 2018 Higher Education Edition. The following month, we made the decision to offer to purchase NMC assets. I’m pleased to share the update that the court has accepted our offer, agreeing that it is in the best interests of the organization and the NMC community.”

Where Does Major American Art Come From? Mapping the Whitney Biennial
“The first Whitney Annual in 1932 was transgressive. The museum was a one-year-old fledgling, set in a rowhouse on West Eighth Street. Its founder, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, was a collector and heiress, but also a serious sculptor. Invited artists chose what work they showed.
In 1973, the exhibition became a Biennial, and its history is the history of American modern and contemporary art. Or, at least one version of that history: one centered in New York City, one heavily white and male. That is no longer the case. This year, a majority of the show’s artists are women, and they are racially and ethnically diverse. New York, however, remains home to nearly half of them.
Until 1975, the exhibition catalogs listed the addresses of the artists who were included each year. Mapping these locations tells a story of influence and power — but also one of friendships and creative communities, of housing prices and economic change, of landscape and light. Here are some of its facets.”
