“Play is the Thing: The Serious Work of Play”
NECAP’s annual conference for teaching artists, educators and arts administrators and presenters
Thursday, September 23, Downtown Brattleboro, Vermont
The critical importance of play in learning and human development is increasingly recognized, but we seem to have less and less space and time for it. This conference looks at the ways teaching artists can be leaders in supporting play — and the creativity it inspires — with learners of all ages and in their own lives. Features juggler and MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient Michael Moschen; Sara Boettrich, Museum Educator, Strong National Museum of Play; and workshops with outstanding artist-educators from across New England.
Registration fee of $40 ($50 after September 6, $60 after September 15) includes morning refreshments & lunch.

Presented by NECAP (the New England Consortium of Artist-Educator Professionals) in collaboration with the New England States Arts Agencies, the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire and Lesley University.
