Please note that registration is now closed.
The Artful Inquiry symposium is an interdisciplinary forum for sharing scholarship, practices, and research on artful inquiry and methods in higher education.
The 2018 symposium will explore:
- What are the ways in which, as an educator, you address art as an agent for social change within your classroom?
- As an artist/educator, what collaborations have taken place, or could take place, in the classroom? What types of art experiences would you like to see incorporated into classrooms or curriculum?
- Artful practice as an internal process – as a teacher/educator/artist, how can you incorporate art for social/personal change?
- How does art permit critical discussions of power asymmetry (#metoo, truth & reconciliation, etc.)
The Artful Inquiry Symposium 2018 schedule emphasizes concurrent sessions led by scholars, researchers, students, and practitioners that demonstrate and investigate how arts-based practices are being used in higher education to build more holistic relationships and institutions.
These sessions may take the form of research presentations, experiential workshops, arts-based practice sessions, performances, roundtable conversations, panel discussions, or other creative modes of sharing.
Faculty, staff, students, researchers, and administrators from all sectors of academia as well as artists and community members/organizers are encouraged to attend.

No Bad Sound Studios’ Performance
NBS is an inclusive, safe space for young artists to grow their creative abilities and expand their knowledge and experience of studio recording. They take a hands-on, practical approach to teaching youth about music production, recording, mixing, performance and writing songs. Young artists of different ages, backgrounds and skill sets come together to develop projects revolving around music. Relationships and networking naturally evolve into music groups, collaborations and teams of like-minded young artists. Their purpose is to help develop confidence, creative thinking and transferable skills in life, through music and art. NBS Studio was developed in 2007 and remains one of the longest standing programs offered by the Maison des Jeunes Cotes-des-Neiges.
October 12, 2018, Education building lobby, 3700 McTavish St. Performance & Reception, 6-7 pm.
