ELIA - What's It All About?

Coming to Glasgow next week, we welcome -

LOCATION/AESTHETICS 

13th ELIA Biennial Conference

ELIA, the European League of Institutes of the Arts, is 'the primary international network organisation of major arts education institutions & universities'.  Glasgow's very proud of its cultural identity, so it's a great place for this conference.
"This year’s conference theme focuses on the relationship between the creative and the city and the dynamic interplay between place, culture, creativity and the artist. Recognising that the arts are both the most local and the most international of activities - proud of their traditions and identity, but at their most exciting when they break down barriers and cross borders, LOCATION/AESTHETICS will explore the cultural, social and economic role that creative individuals and institutions play in creating and transforming a city, regional or national identity and place in the world."  CLICK ON THE LINK ABOVE TO FIND OUT MORE.
"Four sub-themes have been identified to address more specific issues:
IDENTITY/DIVERSITY
REGIONALISM/GLOBALISM
HOMECOMING/NOMADISM
ECONOMY/CULTURE
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall is the main conference venue.
