The ARTE x CATs Research Commons is a one-day hybrid gathering bringing together faculty and students from Art Education and Creative Arts Therapies for an informal exchange of methods, materials, knots, and emerging research. Circulating between faculty roundtables, prompted exchanges, and student-led research-creation, the day invites participants to encounter what others are making, experimenting with, and working through.

The Research Commons offers an accessible and dynamic space for curiosity and unexpected points of overlap, where finding out takes precedence over expertise. 

How can you participate? Join us in person or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.
