Welcome, welcome, welcome

Join us in Aotearoa New Zealand for the 7th biennial ITAC conference! We’re thrilled to announce that 2024’s conference will be hosted by ITAC’s New Zealand Hub: the Centre for Arts and Social Transformation (CAST) at Waipapa Taumata Rau | University of Auckland.

Come together as artists using your creative powers to make a positive impact in your communities, schools, and beyond.

Whether you’re a community artist, participatory artist, or socially engaged artist (or whatever other title you go by), ITAC7 will be the place to be for international networking, professional development, partnership building, knowledge exchanges, and more. So mark your calendars, start planning your travel, and get ready to play at ITAC7!

ITAC7 is supported by The Chartwell Trust and is a part of the Chartwell 50th Anniversary where Chartwell celebrates 50 years of support, commitment, education, collecting and knowledge about the benefits of the visual arts for us all.
