Please join us,
Saturday June 20th, 7:00pm
at the Berkshire Art Kitchen
to celebrate artist, activist, educator, and author
Beverly Naidus and the release of her new book,
Arts for Change: Teaching
Outside the Frame
Slide Talk & Book Signing: 7pm
Free. Contributions welcomed.
The Berkshire Art Kitchen invites you to come hear Beverly Naidus, author of Arts for Change,
a provocative, personal look at the motivations and challenges of
teaching socially engaged arts. Naidus will offer candid examination of
her own university teaching career, weaving in broader social and
historical perspectives. By sharing stories examples of socially
engaged art that inspired her curriculum, Naidus is sure to stimulate
new thinking among artists, educators and activists of all kinds. She
offers inspiration to anyone with an inkling of the role arts can play
in responding to critical issues of the day.
Arts for Change addresses vital questions that students and
educators have long been asking: How can art be part of a movement for
social change? How can art resolve conflicts, heal trauma, wake up
those who are numb and in denial, and envision a new world? Arts for
Change intersperses scholarly concerns with intimate, image-rich
metaphor in a free-spirited, non-academic prose. The stories of 33
dynamic, contemporary artist/teachers working both inside academia and
within community settings also offer inspiration to the reader.
 Signed copies of Arts for Change will be available for
purchase for $14.95 following Naidus' presentation. For those
interested in reading the book prior to the event, it is available
through the New Village Press website, www.newvillagepress.net. Let
them know you will be attending the program so they can Priority Mail
the book.
