About ARTs + Change
ARTs + Change is a virtual conference that provides opportunities for artists of all disciplines, educators, community members, and community organizations to come together to create, to share work and ideas, to present research, to propose collaborations. We invite participants to learn from one another while considering how the arts play a pivotal role in promoting justice, equity, and citizenship. Through the sharing of work, participatory workshops, panel discussions, research presentations, curriculum design, guided discussions, and more, participants will come together to listen, to consider, to share, and to act. We invite proposals from presenters who are exploring performance, pedagogy, activist art, direct action, community-engaged art, ritual, conflict resolution, agitation art, peacebuilding, historical contexts, and more. 

ARTs + Change is hosted by the University of Rochester Institute for the Performing Arts. This event is made possible with the support of our co-sponsors: the University of Rochester Art & Art History Department, International Theatre Program, Create A Space Now, and the ESL Rochester Fringe Festival.
