International Context
Themes for the ANZAAE Conference 2009 provide scope for a diverse range of contributions aligned to interests evident in the recent international renaissance in visual arts education with regard to its enhancement of quality of life. Major art events such as the Documenta in Kassel 2007, the Art Asia-Pacific Triennial in Brisbane 2007, and the International Conference on Art in Society (held at the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design in 2008), indicate a focus on visual arts education and its location within the community, through transferable knowledge, global mobility, network immediacy and resource competitiveness.
