Infusing Education with the Creative

Art is Work/Work is Art: A symposium showcasing McGill University’s Faculty of Education P. Lantz residency artists and their practices

April 28 and 29, 2022

This two-day online symposium will present the practices, outputs, and labour of the twelve P. Lantz Artists in Residence in the Faculty of Education at McGill University from 2015-2022. Each artist will present their work in one of 4, 3-artist online panels. Their presentations may take the form of a traditional paper presentation, artist talk, digital performance, staged interview, manifesto, or some other (experimental) form. All presentations will be livestreamed via Zoom and archived on YouTube to facilitate accessibility and future study.

An essential program to the Faculty of Education at McGill University since 2015, the P. Lantz Artist in Residence was developed to ensure professional leadership, expertise, mentoring, and pedagogical collaboration incorporating the arts across the Faculty, into the Montreal community, and beyond. Through the support of these artists, The P. Lantz Residence program has provided valuable access to resources, support, ideas, techniques, inspiration, and opportunities to Faculty professors, staff, and students, who in turn, have extended this knowledge to vast and varying communities they influence.
