ART CONCLAVE - OCTOBER 3 & 4, 2012

CONCEPT NOTE
The State of Art Education in India: Reviews and Remedies We are a witness to the change in Indian contemporary art practice, education, production and its reception.
This conference will bring together critical views about the state of art education in our country by practitioners and experts in the field. This will be an attempt to address some crucial issues regarding art education - its relevance in the contemporary context, a re-look at the content and its communication.
We need to review and address the conflict of theory – art history and art practice and to have a comprehensive plan to share concerns of teachers and students.
We need to dialogue about art education and its practice, in the context of a more holistic approach that is socially and politically relevant.
Although the Conclave is open to all, it is designed to particularly benefit practicing artists, faculty and students of art, who are expected to participate from different parts of India.
The Conclave will draw immense academic value to Goa by providing a reason to eminent members of the art fraternity to visit Goa and contribute to the continuing process of a very high level of exchange of ideas in Goa.

- To create a rich and vibrant community of artists and art lovers in Goa.
- To create common meeting ground to all for exchanging contemporary arts and ideas.
- To create a conducive space for interaction between the faculty & students of different colleges.
