-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------** 2008 Arts Conference **
We recently concluded the Third International Conference on the Arts in Society at Birmingham Institute of Art and Design,
Birmingham, UK, 28-31 July 2008. Tamsyn Gilbert of Common Ground provides personal reflections on the
Conference:
There were many great speakers who participated in the conference including all of the plenary speakers: Eileen Adams,
Caroline Archer, Tressa Berman, Oliver Bray, Bruce Brown, Mario Antonio Minichiello, Colin Rhodes and Andrew Selby.
The delegate's enthusiasm for the ideas presented and discussed at the conference really shone throughout the entire week and
made it a lovely event. Many thanks must go to everyone at The Birmingham Institute of Art and Design, not only for their
assistance in the running of the conference but also for the many extra activities which were available to the delegates such as
walking tours, the conference dinner and a presentation by Andrzej Klimowski, Head of Illustration at the Royal College of Art.
We are now looking forward to next year's conference in Venice, Italy and to the upcoming publications in the International
Journal of the Arts in Society.

The Arts Community Newsletter, March 2008
--------------
In this issue
-------------- -----------------[1] Welcome
-----------------Welcome to the March Issue of the Arts Community Newsletter. In this issue you will find information about the upcoming International Conference on the Arts in Society and the International Journal of the Arts in Society. The Newsletter also includes a Community News section, with information about conferences, events, articles and journals that might be of interest to the Community.
As part of this Community, please feel free to send us items that may be of interest for the Community News section and invite your colleagues to subscribe to the Newsletter as well. Please send your items of interest to kanako.ide@commongroundpublishing.com
-------------------------------Contributing Editors Needed
The Arts Community Newsletter is intended to serve as a forum through which its recipients can communicate items of relevance to their colleagues and, in doing so, assist in the building of community around a shared interest in arts. Contributing Editors play a key role in the Newsletter by providing essential content, including information on conferences and symposia, fellowships, books by Arts Community members, opportunities to publish, and additional items of interest. The Contributing Editors are particularly well suited to this role because their disciplinary affiliation, professional networks and geographical location, among other things, often provide them with access to information that might be otherwise overlooked or inaccessible.
We are currently looking for additional Contributing Editors for Arts Community Newsletter. We greatly appreciate the continued participation of Contributing Editor, Marianne Wagner-Simon. However we recognize that, given the size of the task, additional Editors are needed to significantly increase Newsletter content. We are looking for people who are professionally engaged and interested in the mission of the Newsletter, as well as able to commit to submitting at least one contribution per month.
In addition to assisting with the Newsletter, Contributing Editors serve on the International Advisory Board of The International Conference on the Arts in Society (www.Arts-Conference.com) and its corresponding Journal (www.Arts-Journal.com). Advisory Board members provide suggestions on the themes of each year's Conference and Journal, as well as the overall intellectual direction. In return, Contributing Editors receive a complimentary registration to the Conference and subscription to the Journal.
Applicants should send a letter of interest and CV to Helen Agans at helen.agans@commongroundpublishing.com. Please note that because we are interested in the serving the diverse, and truly international, interests of the Arts Community, we hope to have a correspondingly diverse applicant pool. Once we have received and reviewed all applications, e-mail notifications will be sent to all applicants notifying them of the final decision.

Top Honors Awarded in the 2008 International Arts and Healing Competition Contact: Jan Carpenter Tucker, 619-683-7500 ext. 246, carpentertucker@aesthetics.net
Winners of the 2008 Blair L. Sadler International Healing Arts Awards will be recognized at the Society for the Arts in Healthcare's 19th annual conference on April 18, 2008, at the Doubletree Hotel, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
"At a time when patients and their families are increasingly concerned about stressful hospital environments, innovative arts partnerships with healthcare providers are more important than ever," says Blair L. Sadler, former President of the Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego, California and Senior Fellow at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. "The 2008 award winners are inspiring and effective examples of low cost, high impact projects that have had a measurable impact on people's lives. They are excellent models for others to learn from and to follow. Particularly impressive with this group of winners was the number of them who had actually published their work in peer-reviewed journals."
"The Society for the Arts in Healthcare is honored to partner with Blair Sadler, a tireless champion of the arts in healthcare, to promote our shared vision of how the arts can uplift healthcare experiences," says Anita Boles, Executive Director of the Society for the Arts in Healthcare in Washington, DC. "The Sadler awards are an invaluable opportunity for artists around the globe to showcase their exemplary work in healthcare settings."
At a special awards ceremony during the conference, Sadler will present a $1,000 cash prize to each of the five first place professional winners. All winners will receive up to two complimentary registrations to attend the SAH conference in Philadelphia. The 2008 award recipients are:
Melinda M. Bridgman coordinated Art as a Source of Healing, a model collaboration, now in its seventh year, between Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and Emma Pendleton Bradley Hospital in East Providence, Rhode Island. Bradley Hospital, the nation's first psychiatric hospital devoted exclusively to children and adolescents, is a teaching hospital for the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and a national center for treatment, training and research. The program is an interdisciplinary, fine arts course offered by RISD and open to both RISD design and Brown students (most of whom are pre-med). Students participate in an arts practicum at the hospital where multi-media arts projects are the catalyst the students use to mentor the patients who have serious emotional or behavioral problems, some with the additional challenge of mental retardation or autism. Students experience mentoring a child struggling with a psychiatric disorder; patients experience a relationship with a caring, consistent adult. Students submit a personal transformation project demonstrating how an aspect of the course is healing to them and a practicum project exploring their mentoring relationship. As a result of the process and successful completion of art projects, self-esteem is often significantly improved in most patients. The Art as a Source of Healing: A Retrospective public art exhibition displayed the artwork of the students and the patients in this program.
Judith-Kate Friedman developed a comprehensive music program entitled Songwriting Works at the Jewish Home (SWAJH) in San Francisco, California, now in its eleventh year. This engaging, replicable and inclusive creative process activates the innate musical capacities of elders, their families and caregivers, and gives them full access to the mental, physical, spiritual and social/emotional benefits of composing and performing their own original songs in community. This collaboration produces astonishingly outstanding recordings, publications and performances that bring participants' voices to international audiences. Primary participants' average age is 87; 70% to 80% have early to middle stage Alzheimer's disease or other dementias; and 50% are at risk or being treated for depression. Research in 2007 demonstrated how SWAJH breaks isolation, relieves pain, gives elders, their loved ones and the greater community new ways to develop and deepen relationships, and enhances intercultural and interfaith understanding while creating musical works that transform societal attitudes about aging, health and creativity. Theresa Allison, MD, MMusic, a medical doctor and ethnomusicologist, produced an excellent piece of research around this program that will soon be published in a book chapter in the Oxford Handbook of Medical Ethnomusicology: Music, Medicine and Culture (Oxford University Press, 2008). Rabbi Sheldon Marder extols the value of this creative process in Jewish Pastoral Care, 2nd edition (Friedman, ed., Jewish Lights Publications, 2005).
Lisa Gallagher designed a program to study The Clinical Effects of Music Therapy in Palliative Medicine through her work for The Cleveland Music School Settlement in conjunction with the Harry R. Horvitz Center for Palliative Medicine at The Cleveland Clinic and funded by the Kulas Foundation. From 2000 to 2002, two hundred patients with chronic and/or advanced disease and 68 families were evaluated after participation in one music therapy session. Utilizing guidelines determined by the music therapist, data was collected from observation of the patients' response to their music therapy session. All improvements in symptoms were statistically significant. For instance, protocols used to reduce anxiety and stress were successful 84.5% of the time. Patients responded 92.5% of the time positively to the use of music to provide comfort, solace and to improve self-esteem. The majority of staff members surveyed had a positive response. Statistical analysis of the data and the results, reviewed and co-authored in an article by several palliative medicine physicians along with the music therapist, were published in Support Care Cancer in 2006. The results of two earlier studies by the music therapist on music therapy in palliative medicine were published in the Journal of Palliative Care and in Support Care Cancer in 2001. Further controlled quantitative and qualitative studies are in progress or being planned.
Patricia Caballero Schillaci created a year-long dance movement/therapy program, Prenatal Therapeutic Dance Project (PTDP), to improve prenatal education and care as well as to provide mind and body healing effects for pregnant women. Weekly sessions for 32 participating women took place at Settlement Health, a community health center that serves East Harlem in New York. The sessions, where pregnant women received guidance in gentle, physically and emotionally expressive arts, also provided a forum for discussing perinatal health education topics. The qualitative evaluation was administered via a telephone interview of the participants. A measurable impact was noted by the percentages of positive responses. For example, all of the patients reported increases in energy levels with decreases in physical discomfort; all reported that the PTDP increased their pregnancy care knowledge; and 90% reported an improved connection with their baby. Forty percent attributed their ability to avoid medication during labor to the program. Also, 40% of those who had given birth at the time of the survey attributed their quick recovery to participation in the PTDP. The strategy to promote the program was distribution of fliers in both Spanish and English. Participation in the year-long pilot program was 94% Hispanic and 6% African American. Future efforts will be to increase promotion to a more diverse population from the community.
Xueli Tan, a music therapist, conducted a study, The Effectiveness of Music Therapy Protocols during the Debridement Process, to explore ways that music therapy could help burn patients in intensive care experiencing pain, anxiety and muscle tension throughout the process of burn wound dressing changes. Key investigators (and co-winners of the Sadler Award) included two medical doctors, Richard Fratianne, MD, FACS and Charles Yowler, MD, FACS, FCCM. The research study evolved from a unique partnership between three Cleveland, Ohio organizations, The Cleveland Music School Settlement's Music Therapy Department, MetroHealth Medical Center's Comprehensive Burn Care Center and the Kulas Foundation and is now in its eleventh year with more research projects under way. Twenty-nine inpatients ranging in age from 8 to 71 years participated in this study, each undergoing two consecutive days of research. Patients were randomized to receive music therapy services on the first or second day, with no music on control days. In addition to patients' subjective self reports of pain and anxiety levels, researchers collected objective data focusing on observations of patients' behavioral manifestations of pain and anxiety. Results of this study, which strongly support the effectiveness of music therapy in such cases, will be published in a book chapter in The Science of Music as Medicine, scheduled for Spring 2008 publication by the Kulas Foundation. Tan's work was covered on a front page of The Plain Dealer in June, 2005. These music therapy protocols could be a model for effective treatment throughout the country and around the world.

The Arts and Social Justice: Re-crafting adult education and community cultural leadership, edited by Darlene E. Clover and Joyce Stalker
The purpose of this book is to extend the notion of adult education as overtly political action by exploring activist dimensions of arts-and crafts-based learning practices from around the world. The authors contend that 'the arts' are capable of engaging the disinterested and the disenfranchised. They argue that within the realm of arts and crafts there exist alternative spaces and practices of critical social learning, in which engagement with symbolic aesthetic media can raise issues of critique, choice, debate and control. The book is available at NIACE, 20 Princess Road West, Leicester LE1 6TP, England, Tel +44 (0) 116 204 4211/4216 fax +44 (0) 116 204 4276 Email: orders@niace.org.uk : $38:00
---------------------------Social Justice
Two issues of the journal Social Justice focus on the role of the arts in social change. Vol. 33, No. 2, entitled "Art, Power, and Social Change," includes essays on the Situationists, formalist art criticism, arts policy, and case studies of the arts as a mechanism for social change in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Argentina, Mexico, and the United States. In Vol. 34, No. 1, entitled "Art, Identity, and Social Justice," authors discuss the role of the arts in the social justice struggles of communities as diverse as American Indians, Bahamians, North American and Mexican feminists, working-class women in England, and LGBT communities of color in New York City.

*2007 LYON BIENNIAL OF CONTEMPORARY ART 00s
The history of a decade that has not yet been named September 19, 2007 to January 6, 2008
Artistic director: Thierry Raspail, conception: Stéphanie Moisdon & Hans Ulrich Obrist
Conceived of as a history and geography manual in the form of a game, the 2007 Lyon Biennial is inviting sixty-six Players from all over the world, distributed in two circles. Forty-nine of them (curators, art critics…) are being asked to answer the following question: "Who, in your opinion, is the artist who best represents this decade?"
-------------------------------------------------[3] Arts Conference News
-------------------------------------------------THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE ARTS IN SOCIETY
(www.Arts-Conference.com)
A Letter from the Arts Conference Director:
The Annual Arts Conference, held in conjunction with Documenta12 in Kassel, Germany, was held from August 22 to 25, and selected conference papers are now in press for the International Journal on the Arts in Society. For those of you who attended the Arts Conference, your subscriptions are automatic, and we look forward to using this space of the Newsletter and Blog for your feedback.
A brief overview of the conference themes and activities positions it within its broad theme of Art and Education an intentionally wide field of cultural production and artistic inquiry, designed to link with Documenta12's ambitious Leitmotif 3: Education or Bildung. In German, this concept of Bildung takes on a wider dimension of a generative task, and poses education as an act of advocacy and an invitation in self-education through community engagement. In parallel with this Leitmotif, and in keeping with the Scope and Concerns of the Arts Conference, we asked and continue to ask of ourselves as creative citizens in the public sphere: What is to be done?
In order to focus this question and its discursive flows, we drew from the Arts Conference's eleven 'Streams' and focused on only four for the purposes of this year's small group discussions in Talking Circles. These included: Arts and Education, Art in Communities, Constructing Art Worlds, and Meaning and Representation. (Please see the Arts Conference website for a fuller description of conference Streams and Talking Circle agenda. www.arts-conference.com). Discussion topics over two days of small group conversations ranged from Art and Higher Education; Art and Change; Collaborations and Holistic Practices; Art in the Presence of Fear; and The Magic of Communal Process. The Art and Education group grappled with such questions as "How can arts education be redefined and examined so as to 'stop people from being thwarted in their creativity'?" Ultimately, it was asked, "Why do we need Arts Education at all?" These provocative questions and topics will be given more attention in the forthcoming Arts Journal though here I would like to especially extend a huge Thank You! to the volunteer Facilitators: Mark McCollum, Con Christeson and Diobhan Larkin, and of course, all of the delegates who gave their ideas and input. Thank you all!
Our Main Speaker and Plenary Panel events followed from the main themes of the conference, and especially our intersection with Documenta12 and its Education Team. Head of Education, Ulrich Schtker, opened our conference with an overview of the education programs of Documenta12, and a history of their constitution through previous Documenta programs and platforms. Carmen Mrsch, an education consultant to Documenta12, further focused on the approaches towards education for Documenta12, thereby bringing the fields of contemporary art in line with practices of cultural and educational translation. Ayse Glec, Director of Programs for the Kulturzentrum Schlachtof, was a key spokesperson for the Documenta12 Advisory Board, which worked closely with community members and students in Kassel to extend diverse programming needs throughout the city thereby bringing to life the visual imperatives of the exhibitions. As well, Gerald McMaster's talk raised critical insights into the relationships between the German romanticism of American Indians, and the interplay of American Indian artists who re-situate themselves and their work in European contexts as both a mirror and an intervention into western concepts and institutions. In all, a wide area of Art and Education to tackle! The Plenary Panels extended these concerns through the work of digital media artists and arts educators working across disciplines through the international forums of LEF (Leonardo Education Foundation) and InSEA (International Society for Education through Art). Thank you!! Nina Czegledy and Danielle Reimann, session organizers.
Finally, I would like to personally express my gratitude for the two years and three conferences that I facilitated on behalf of Common Ground conferences developing our mission and working toward it. In large part, that mission to create an intellectual platform for the arts in conjunction with arts festivals, exhibitions and pinnacle events in the arts world – has been realized. I think that our success and interweave with the 2007 Documenta12 was a critical step in that realization. While my role as Arts Conference Director has come to a close, my hope is that the Arts Conference will continue to build on these successes and platforms into the future, and I look forward to continuing on the International Advisory Board. I look forward to seeing you - my colleagues - in the future, and following your important work in the world. Please do keep in touch, and Thank you!
Sincerely,
Tressa Berman

To place an order: http://thehumanities.cgpublisher.com/product/pub.61/prod.16.
Description:
"Not a proper thesis," is how the skeptics see the scholarly work of creative artists. This book challenges that idea by exploring knowledge and insight through transdisciplinary exploration.
Inter-subjective knowledge and spaces are vital for both the creative artist and the scholarly doctoral work of artists. The challenge in the art-based or creative doctoral thesis is to explore and illuminate different ways of knowing. The chapters in this book reflect some of that creative interplay of one way of knowing with another.

THE SCHOOL OF PANAMERICAN UNREST – A PROJECT BY PABLO HELGUERA
The School of Panamerican Unrest is an artistic project that seeks to generate connections between the different regions of the Americas through discussions, short-term and long-term collaborations between organizations and individuals. Its main component will be a nomadic forum or think-tank that will cross the hemisphere by land, from Anchorage, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego. This hybrid project will include a collapsible and movable architectural structure in the form of a schoolhouse, as well as a video and book collection component inside a van with which the journey will be made. The project seeks to involve a wide range of publics and engage them at different levels in a dialogue about alternative ways to understand the history, ideology, and lines of thought that have significantly impacted in the political, social and cultural events in the Americas.
Artists, writers, political activists, sociologists, economists and educators are being invited in this nomadic think tank. At each location at least one panel discussion will be presented, all of which will be pre-planned amongst international and local participants.

This year marked the launch of the annual International Conference on the Arts in Society, held in August, 2006, in conjunction with the Edinburgh Festivals of Scotland. In addition to our plenary speakers, Tonel, and Mario Minichiello, several Festival Directors also served as Main Speakers, representing some of the main world festivals in performing and visual arts (Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Edinburgh International Festival, Edinburgh Art Festival).
Thank you to all who made the 2006 Arts Conference such a success, and particularly to those who presented at the conference. We would like to give a very special ‘thank you’ to Napier University’s Centre for Festival and Event Management for their generous support throughout the conference. The local committee and volunteers in Edinburgh contributed to making the conference a successful and rewarding event for all.

---------------------------------------------------------Journal News - http://www.Arts-Journal.com
---------------------------------------------------------THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THE ARTS IN SOCIETY
The International Journal of the Arts in Society aims to create an intellectual frame of reference for the arts and arts practices, and to create an interdisciplinary conversation on the role of the arts in society. It is intended as a place for critical engagement, examination, and experimentation of ideas that connect the arts to their contexts in the world, on stage, in museums and galleries, on the streets, and in communities.
The journal is responding to global trends in arts festivals, biennales, and other international art fairs, indicating the need for critical discussion on issues in the arts, and specifically as they are situated in the present-day contexts of globalisation, and its social, economic and political artefacts of cultural homogenisation, commodification and militarisation.
Papers published in the journal will range from the expansive and philosophical, to finely grained analyses based on deep familiarity and understanding of a particular area of arts knowledge or arts practice. Collectively, they bring into the dialogue artists, theorists, policymakers, arts educators, and their overlapping roles.
ARTS JOURNAL – VOLUME 1
Paper submissions are now closed for Volume 1 of the Journal. Authors will be notified when their paper has been sent for review. If you have submitted a paper to the journal you may be requested to serve as a referee for other paper submissions. If you are requested to referee please submit your report by the requested due date. We appreciate the participation of all requested referees.
