Incorporating an arts culture in planning finalThe Cecil Group
Most communities agree that public art adds value to a community, but how do you encourage the arts to really flourish in a community? Steps need to be taken to legitimize the art and a plan needs to be put in place for how you’d like your community to engage in their public spaces. Harriman lays the ground work for finding and growing an arts community while Salem, MA and Cambridge, MA share how their communities are fostering the arts in different ways.

Benefits of a Community Based Exhibition ProjectMelissa Hempel
Listening to all voices in a community allows art organizations to offer a safe outlet for expression through art projects, developing skills and building community. Placing ultimate importance on the process of creating art and community partnerships, Hidden Voices exhibition participants have ranged from teenage graffiti offenders to women who have experienced domestic violence to senior citizens. Art Access connects lives through making art that shares experiences. This session examines the lasting benefits of community-based projects for both the organizations and the selected participants.

“The sari,” said Puneet Nanda in Tokyo, “is a most elegant and amazing garment.”
Literally it is not a garment at all, but a length of in a basic style dating from antiquity. Simple though the sari seems to be, its wrapping and folding incorporate intricacies and subtleties. With bracelets, anklets and necklaces, the sari is undyingly popular with Indian women in all circumstances and for all occasions
When is art now? This lecture will focus on definitions of Contemporary Art that focus on the experience of 'time', comparing and contrasting them with theories of contemporary art that hold it to be a (sub)culture, a genre, a period, or a style.
What does it mean to state that art is contemporary rather than to hold that it is modern, prescient, traditional, nostalgic, postmodern, ancient...?
What concepts of time do people need to develop and share in order to understand the contemporary?
Where and how is the temporality of the contemporary situated?
This lecture will outline some of the key ways in which art theory has attempted to approach such questions by introducing a few key concepts such as: supercessionism, presentism, contemporaneity, anachrony, polychrony and chronopolitics.
To illustrate how this works in practice, the lecture will examine the chronopolitics of the 2012 Documenta and 2013 Venice Biennale.

Good intentions does not mean real impactRobin Low
My experience and lessons learned from going to all major disasters in the past 15 years. This is my talk in Tokyo in November 2015.
My failures and successes are all lessons for everyone to learn.
This is my talk at various NGOs, and refugee camps.
If you want to learn a new skill or help a community, and you don't know how or where to start, this is a quick starter guide that you should read
Do Donations, Charities, CSR programs really have any impact long term?
We should rethink the way we give and empower others if we are serious about solving the most pressing problems we face.

International Entrepreneurship in the Arts: Unexpected PartnershipLidia Varbanova
Unexpected Partnership: New spaces for creation and creativity: How do we support them?" Presented by Lidia Varbanova at IFACCA 7th World Summit, Malta, October, 2016
In times of the obsession with profit and growth, natural and social
resources are exploited in all corners of the world. Yet, the urge
to radically rethink the system sneaked into various levels. Many
creative and forward-looking professionals are actively searching
for new spaces of opportunity, to shape and test new modes of
economic production and responsible social fabric. Rural areas
have become relevant places for experimentation - smaller in size,
providing more time and space, with less hierarchical governance
structures.
Contemporary performing arts in a rural context are an integral
part of that exercise of imagining a different future. Moreover,
contemporary art in rural areas have been nurturing and shaping
local narratives for ages. However, contemporary artistic practices
have gone almost unnoticed in many funding schemes - both
cultural programmes and rural development funds, which tend to
focus on economic assets of only a few sectors.
In the past few years, IETM has organised a sequence of sessions
and one entire meeting on the subject of art in rural areas. Some of
the brightest art professionals engaging with rurality have created
an AREA (art in rural areas) focus group within our network
and continued their exchange during IETM events and beyond.
Through the dialogue within that group and with other members
experienced and interested in the topic, we have discovered a
fascinating, vibrant and powerful world of contemporary arts in
rural areas.
Today, more than ever, we want to turn the global attention to that
hugely important world.
When creating this publication, we realised it is urgent to find
unconventional approaches to the arts in rural areas. We need
to identify innovative solutions to support the rural arts in their
endeavour of working transversally with other sectors. We have
to seize the momentum and potential of rural arts to help reinvent
the system. Today, when our planet needs it the most.
We hope the present publication sets a strong and fertile ground
for reflecting on those ambitions. Please get in touch with us
(ietm@ietm.org) or write us on our forum (www.ietm.org/forums)
if you wish to further the debate.
We are very grateful to the three authors for their insightful and
sincere contributions. We also heartily thank our members and
other art professionals who shared their practices, stories, views
and experiences with us - through the ongoing exchange during
IETM meetings and via the open call we announced in July - August
2019. Some of the cases collected through the call are presented
in the annexes.
The publication “Arts in Rural Areas” is part of a collaborative
trajectory, which embraces three other European cultural
networks - Culture Action Europe, European Network of Cultural
Centres, and Trans Europe Halles. The policy paper “Beyond the
urban”, which you can read below, is the product of our joint work.
It is still in progress and subject to comments and suggestions
for improvement. We will pre

There are more problems that we face today than before, following status quo or thinking that billionaires and their foundations will save us is simply a dream that has not been realized and will never be.
Poverty is a complex problems and will not be solved if we let the governments and the rich address it while we watch and send thoughts and prayers.
If status quo does not solve problems, perhaps we need to all try to do our part and look for solutions, try for our local community. It take effort and courage to bring about change.
Facebook, Whatsapp & Instagram for seniorsRobin Low
Seniors need to connect and learn social media.
It has many benefits
It helps them keep in touch, gives them entertainment, allow them to share their experience, it helps them find deals and help them form special interest groups online to combat senior loneliness.
Empowering communities through social innovationRobin Low
Good intentions are not enough, you need to think critically about impact to ensure your efforts are not wasted and you can always work with communities near you to solve social problems.

Alumni Engagement and Relations need to improve on their game and create a great experience and shareable moments for our digital natives and meet the needs of Today's Alumni.
There are so many new problems happening everyday.
Complaining does not solve problems, protesting does not solve problems.
There is only so much the government or NGOs can do. Being big and bureaucratic allows them to act fast and raise lots of funds, but they are slow to respond to changes.
We need innovation and people to take actions and accountability.
We all live on the sample planet.
