Sixth International Conference on the Arts in Society in Berlin

Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities

Berlin, Germany

9~11 May, 2011

The International Conference on the Arts in Society and the International Journal of the Arts in Society provide a scholarly platform for discussions of the arts and art practices, enabling an interdisciplinary conversation on the role of the arts in society. They are intended as a place for critical engagement, examination and experimentation of ideas that connect the arts to their contexts in the world - in studios and classrooms, in galleries and museums, on stage, on the streets and in communities.

The 2011 conference will explore the intersection between Art + Science, held in conjunction with the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW) 2011-2012 Topic of the Year - "ArteFacts. Knowledge is Art - Art is Knowledge". Presented by BBAW, the 2011-2012 Topic of the Year aims to reassess the relationship between art and science. For more information on the BBAW Topic of the Year, please see: http://ArtsinSociety.com/Conference-2011/Program/ .

If you are not able to join us in Berlin for the 2011 Arts Conference, we are pleased to announce that the 2012 Arts Conference will be held next July at the Liverpool Art and Design Academy, Liverpool, UK.
