IAM Encounter: Art in Action

I just registered for the IAM conference in New York in February.  So fun-I get to go with one of my favorite people, emily, hang in NYC and be exposed to lots of interesting creatives and thoughts about faith, art and culture.

"Humanity longs to sing and dance, and it needs choreographers and kappellmeisters to instruct and inspire. Humanity longs to be part of a great story, to write a chapter in it, but it needs great storytellers to point the way. Humanity longs to truly see unseen things, pictures of worlds in and beyond it, but it needs visionaries to open eyes. Humanity needs artists, and artists need humanity...Creation and creativity are part of what makes people human. If we hope to see more evidence of the world that ought to be, we must fill all corners of culture - museums to malls, galleries to grocery stores - with good, true and beautiful works. This is Art in Action." 

Encounter 09 | Art in Action is International Arts Movement's annual gathering of artists and creative catalysts for one weekend to wrestle with the deep questions of art, faith and humanity, to inspire the creative community to engage with the culture that is and to create world that ought to be.
