NET TLC Ensemble Exchange Lab!

In response to NET members’ requests for more art-focused,
hands-on opportunities to connect, learn, and share together,
NET partnered with Tofte Lake Center to host
our first Ensemble Exchange Lab this summer
from July 1-7 in Ely, Minnesota.

The week centered on peer-based ensemble practice exchange,
and was designed to support collaborative knowledge-sharing
and field cross-pollination.

MicroFest USA Documentation

How do you capture the rich experiences, discussions, learning, and reflections inspired by Detroit, Appalachia, and New Orleans and that are all part of MicroFest USA? Animating Democracy, a program of Americans for the Arts, is pleased to be partnering with NET to help with the somewhat daunting task of documenting MicroFest USA.

For each festival, we are engaging two individuals, one who is of the host community or region, and another from outside, to write about their experiences. They may be artists, activists, journalists, planners, scholars, or other. Each writer is capturing not only the stories and dialogue, but encouraged to bring his or her unique local and national perspective, knowledge, experiences, and point of view to the task and to add to the discourse.
