Advocates, instigators, abolitionists, suffragists, cyberartists, high tech. Catalyze! Empower! Convene! Red brick and brownstones. Streets that wander from pasture to plaza and culture to community. Where old greets new: civic potential, tension, texture, triumph. First People, immigrants, students, politicians. Dancers, painters, poets. Arts in action. Ships and tea. Taxation with representation. A revolution again. This is the art of it. Boston. Beantown Remix will highlight the assets of the region's arts community while continuing and deepening conversations begun at earlier conferences. A preliminary list of topics that will be explored include: historic preservation, working artists and cultural tourism, research and cultural economic development, cultural democracy and civic dialogue, arts education, support for individual artists, and the intersection between art and technology.
