 Change”: Catalyst, 2006\nAugust 18-19, Fort Mason Center, San 
 Francisco\n\nMaking Art, Making Change is a first-time conference which 
 will bring together 300 diverse participant-learners—from artists to 
 educators, youth, and social activists—to explore the intersections of 
 art, education, and social justice as we work towards tangible, local, 
 positive change. \n\nThe event will illustrate the varying ways different 
 artistic disciplines can promote critical thinking, capture and express 
 individual experiences, develop creative ideas, and forge new connections 
 on both the social and intellectual levels. The conference will be held 
 August 18thand19th at the Herbst Pavilion at the Fort Mason Center in San 
 Francisco. The first night of this unique event, Friday August 18th, will 
 feature performances, storytelling, and calls to action. The following day, 
 August 19th, participants and workshop facilitators will explore how art 
 can answer those calls and move us toward a more just and equitable 
 society. Featured performers and facilitators include poet-laureate of San 
 Francisco, devora major, Oakland-based Destiny Arts, singer/songwriter 
 Hyim, and the San Francisco Mime Troupe. The target audience includes youth 
 workers (educators, teaching artists, arts organizations serving youth), 
 youth, parents, and artists from all over the Bay Area. Together we will 
 address the following questions:\n\n•	How can the arts be a medium for 
 building communities and learning to create a just and equitable 
 society?\n•	Can youth and youth organizations use the arts to effect 
 systemic, long-lasting positive change?\n•	How can youth contribute to 
 social justice and creating change through their own art-making?\n\n\nIn 
 summary, Making Art, Making Change will broaden our understanding of the 
 dynamic relationships among art, education and positive social change. We 
 hope to see you there!\n\n--Performing Arts Workshop, 2006\n\n
