Engagement. Communication. Creativity. Partnerships. These were key themes that emerged when arts educators, government officials, policy makers, artists, and others gathered for the 2015 Conference of the Canadian Network for Arts and Learning at The Royal Conservatory in Toronto. Presentations, panel discussions, and performances packed the day with energy and optimism, and the participants left at the end of the conference re-energized and ready to continue the work already being done in support of arts and learning across Canada.
