Twenty-Third International Conference on the Arts in Society
- The Arts in Public Life: Place, Participation, and Collective Imagination
- 19-21 July 2028
- University of Galway, Galway, Ireland + Online
The Arts in Society Research Network offers an interdisciplinary forum for discussion of the role of the arts in society. It is a place for critical engagement, examination, and experimentation, developing ideas that connect the arts to their contexts in the world – on stage, in studios and theaters, in classrooms, in museums and galleries, on the streets and in communities. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.
The Twenty-Third International Conference on the Arts in Society features research addressing the following themes and special focus.
The Twenty-Third International Conference on the Arts in Society will feature plenary sessions by some of the world’s leading thinkers and innovators in the field.
The conference program groups together presentations along similar themes to facilitate knowledge sharing and community building. The first schedule of sessions will be available when we're able to present a complete picture of the conference. We will offer both place-based and online options for viewing and engaging. In the meantime, you may view a list of all accepted proposals (both confirmed to attend and still pending registration) on our List of Accepted Proposals.
