November 3-5, 2017, Carleton University, Ottawa

This gathering in Ottawa is the final public event of a five-year national research project supported by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), fifteen partner organizations and eighteen collaborators. The Art for Social Change (ASC!) research partnership, led by the International Centre of Art for Social Change (ICASC) at Simon Fraser University, has brought together artists, scholars, students and change makers from diverse public and private sectors to conduct research on art for social change practices in Canada, and to provide information, opportunities for exchange, and resources for both practitioners and those interested in learning more about the field. 

The ART of Changing the World will include two and half days of cross-sector dialogue and action-oriented planning, as well as information exchange, working groups, networking and relationship building.
