Greetings Members and Friends,
Twenty seven days until we are together in NYC! This issue of enews highlights a few happenings the week of October 21-25.
Monday, The Juilliard School has generously donated tickets to
Alan Gilbert Conducting the Juilliard Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in Works by Bartok and Bruckner.
Tuesday, Lincoln Center Education is providing a workshop called,
Public Art & The Capacities for Imaginative Learning featuring monumental, site-specific sculptures by Aaron Curry: Melt to Earth, at the Lincoln Center's Josie Robertson Plaza.
Wednesday evening, Gensler is hosting a reception in their Rockefeller Center suite. As architects, designers, planners and consultants, they partner with clients on projects as small as a wine label or as large as a new urban district. Their work reflects an enduring commitment to sustainability and the belief that design is one of the most powerful strategic tools for securing lasting competitive advantage.
Our Counselor/College/Career Committee has pulled together a professional development strand of content stretching from Tuesday through Friday. Please see the content, panelists, and presenters below.
The Counselor/College/Career Committee wants to reach out to Arts High School Counselors and provide greater support and networking opportunities. Please share this enews with your relevant staff and ask them to take our brief guidance counselor survey. They are also seeking more guidance counselors for their committee. Interested persons can register to serve here. Together, we are getting better and better!
Sincerely,
Kristy Callaway
Executive Director
