The 2025 AICAD Symposium, themed “Engaging Values,” is now accepting proposals from artists, educators, and researchers. This event aims to foster discussions around the critical role of values in contemporary art and design education. The symposium invites participants to explore how values shape creative practices, influence teaching methodologies, and impact community engagement.
Proposals should reflect innovative approaches to understanding and integrating values within artistic and educational frameworks. Organizers encourage submissions that address diverse perspectives, including cultural, ethical, and social dimensions of values in the creative process. Selected proposals will contribute to a dynamic program that includes workshops, panel discussions, and presentations.
This is an excellent opportunity for individuals and groups to share their insights and practices with a broader audience. Interested parties are urged to submit their proposals by the specified deadline, ensuring their voices are part of this vital conversation about the intersection of values and the arts.
