OUR MODEL
ARTIZEN History Timeline
Our focus is dedicated to using the innovation of Art Culture and Artist as an approach to sustainable development, the conference engages key players from the Business, Health, Government, Education Agriculture, Energy, Architecture and Tourism industries into healthy dialogue with Art and Cultural stakeholders from around the world to determine the role of an ARTIZEN in civil society and ultimately the conference region's sustainable development.
DEEP ROOTS
Unearthing the Symbolic Landscape
In preparation for the ARTIZEN conference, the Teaching Artist Institute commits to hosting roundtable discussions and town hall-style meetings of stakeholders across sector focused on connecting art culture to sustainable development in the region where the conference is held. In partnership with local stakeholders, over 50 invitations are sent to engage participants in order to clearly identify the resources, deficits, opportunities, threats and the overarching narrative of the region. The result of this engagement determines the breakout session themes.
​
The planning and production of these meetings result in the formation of a local delegation coined ARTIZEN Ambassadors. This group is comprised of approximately 40 leaders representing nonprofit organizations, government agencies, foundations, and independent teaching artists, who explore opportunities to further integrate Art culture into the local environment preceding the conference date.
​
As divergent conveners, both underground/mainstream and traditional/non-traditional artist learn alongside each other how to interface across sector with practitioners in sustainable development. By highlighting the value of human capital through conference creative brain-trust sessions, our conference brings participants to an equitable and inclusive space that stimulates a paradigm shift in emerging economies.
​
International Buzz
Attracting International participation and attention from artist and community developers alike has bolstered the budding publicity efforts. Still with 70 percent of the primary conference beneficiaries still operating offline, the international community helps to bridge the digital divide found in the emerging economies where our conferences are held.
