Bringing together media makers active in the 70s with artists working today in new media and interactive technologies, the conference celebrated our history and established new partnerships with cultural and educational institutions across the country. Over 250 individuals from around the country attended the conference, representing many of the major media institutions on the East Coast. All of the events were open to registrants of Common Ground, the conference of the New York State Alliance for Arts Education, in an effort to encourage active participation by public school educators from across the State.
