https://a2ru.org/event/2025-a2ru-conference-creative-futures/
a2ru’s next annual conference will take place October 23-25, 2025 at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. This will be an in-person conference.
This year’s theme, “Creative Futures: Driving Interdisciplinary Innovation Through the Arts,” explores how future-thinking in the arts can reimagine and redefine disciplines, collaboration, and the academy to better meet the demands of our rapidly shifting technological, ecological, and political landscape. How can we center creativity in the interdisciplinary problem solving needed to meet these current challenges? How can we use the arts to advance our goals of sustainability, social justice, and human flourishing? In this moment, how can the arts illuminate what it means to be a human being?
The call for proposals is now open for panels, presentations, workshops, and the artwork/poster gallery. Proposals are open in three tracks: Creative Futures, Practical Applications for Arts Integration in Higher Education, and Steps Towards Change.
