Session proposals due by Friday for September conference about combining arts and agriculture

Proposals for sessions at "Cross-Currents: Art + Agriculture Powering Rural Economies," a conference to be held Sept. 3-5 in Greensboro, N.C., need to be submitted by 6 p.m. EDT Friday. The conference, sponsored by Art-Force and the National Rural Assembly, will allow participants to "highlight successful models of the arts as connector, developer, facilitator, and economic generators, build a compelling case for more creative and leading edge rural revitalization strategies, and offer examples of how to build collaboration, capacity, and value among food advocates, agricultural producers, artists and designers, planners, and community leaders," the conference website says.

The registration fee is $190. For more information, to submit proposals, or to register for the event, click here.
