NEW YORK April 3, 2009 — At the 2009 Annual Conference of the University Continuing Education Association (UCEA)—the leading international organization of continuing and adult education institutions—Dorothy Durkin, NYU-SCPS associate dean of strategic development and marketing, led a panel discussion on “Arts and Enterprise: Reframing Creative and Applied Arts Education for the Future.”
Durkin and the other distinguished panelists considered the many aspects of a creative arts education, such as the rise in some arts fields (animation, film, video), popular interest in good design (e.g., Target), baby boomers leaving corporate jobs to pursue a passion (“the encore career”), and why it’s imperative that continuing education reinforce the value of the creative process across all professions.
