Award Ceremony honoring
Maxine Greene
|
"To generate inquiry, imagination, and the creation of art works by
diverse people. It has to do so with a sense of the deficiencies in our
world and a desire to repair, wherever possible. Justice, equality,
freedom–these are as important to us as the arts, and we believe they
can infuse each other, perhaps making some difference at a troubled
time." (The Maxine Greene Foundation for Social Imagination, the Arts &
Education, 2007)

education. The Association of Teaching Artists honors her commitment to
practicing artists in education with its Distinguished Service to Arts Education
Field Award.
The man bent over his guitar,
A shearsman of sorts. The day was
green.
They said, "You have a blue guitar.
You do not play things a they are."
The man replied, "Things as they are
Are changed upon the blue guitar."
Wallace Stevens, "The Man
with the Blue Guitar"
