Artspace 304 announces the first ever Arts Amaze Southern Illinois Regional Conference. This event will bring together artists, performers, educators, advocates, and arts organizations to embrace innovation in arts education, celebrate creativity, and inspire new ideas in visual and performance arts. The goal of the conference is to ignite imaginations, learn from one another, and leave with a wealth of inspiration and knowledge to enrich attendees’ creative journeys. We are honored to announce that our conference keynote speaker will be Ra Joy, Chief of Staff at the National Endowment for the Arts and past president of Arts Alliance Illinois. The conference will feature presentations, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops. Arts professionals are invited to submit a proposal to present or lead a workshop at the inaugural gathering of this exceptional event. Presenters will receive an honorarium and admission to the conference. Proposals are due November 22, 2023. Arts Amaze will be held at John A. Logan College in Carterville, on Saturday, March 9, 2024. We look forward to seeing you in Southern Illinois!
