TalkShops - Community Arts Partnerships
This past Saturday saw the rebirth of the Art Center’s popular series of workshops/panels called appropriately enough, TalkShops. Focused on the field of Art Education, this series examines varying topics including collaborations, media, technology, childhood learning, and much more. This session was facilitated by Cynthia Weiss and Paul Teruel of Columbia College’s Center for Community Arts Partnerships (CCAP), and featured activities in theater and photography. Our other presenters were Tony Sancho, Deborah Guzman, and Sarah Beckstrom.

Our TalkShops Working Group
The group had a brief presentation on composition in Photography, engaged in several movement and story exercises, and took photgraphs of their activities, which were shared at the end of the presentation. After lunch, everyone sat down for a great conversation around building collaborations with community arts organizations and learned more about the great work which CCAP is doing right now, both in the schools and in the community. Were you here for the discussion? Share your thoughts and feedback on the program!
