CommonGround
Conference
Our Keynote
Speakers
We
are proud of the speakers and
artists that we have been able
to offer to the New York arts-in-education
community over the four years
that we have presented CommonGround.
Coming to us from the federal
Department of Education, Off-Broadway
theaters, or innovative NY schools,
our keynote presenters have
enlightened and inspired us
with their words, their art,
and their committment.
