This facilitated discussion will explore ideas and resources for teaching, making art, and making change that bring social practice and environmental art into a crucial shared conversation. It will be both theoretical and practical; we invite educators, artists, administrators, and other interested practitioners to share knowledge and methods, co-develop practices, build relationships, and to further dialogue, especially as it relates to working and teaching methodologies that encourage direct engagement with the general public and with local community organizations.
