Dear Colleagues,
We still have seats available for the Multimodal Approaches to Learning
Conference co-organized by Art Beyond Sight and The Metropolitan Museum of
Art. Check out the program (see attached or follow link below) and special

http://artbeyondsightconference.blogspot.com/p/conference-program_4.html
If you wish to register, fill out the registration form is online. The
completed forms had to be sent to Marie Clapot at [log in to unmask]
or by mail Art Beyond Sight, 589 Broadway, 3rd fl., New York , NY 10012.
The conference addresses inclusive and multisensory learning environments
and strategies, particularly in relation to the arts and museums. Our
discussions will focus on experiences that involve sound, touch, movement,
drama, olfactory and modes of proprioceptive learning. Multimodal learning
and creative experiences are meaningful to all audiences including people
with disabilities and people with different learning preferences.
Since 2005 this conference has become a forum for cross-disciplinary
creative thinking and the exchange of ideas. We will continue to foster
dialogue between such diverse disciplines as neuroscience, cognitive
psychology, education, museum studies, disability and cultural studies,
technology, architecture, product design, and media art. Conference
participants and organizers aim to define a framework for engaging diverse
audiences through multimodal experiences, and identify new trends and
innovation in learning and museum practice.
The trademark of this conference has been its diverse cross-disciplinary
audience that includes: Museum staff, art educators, teaching artists,
special education teachers, therapists, new media artists, researchers,
computer engineers and technology specialists, Universal Design advocates,
architects, exhibit, and product designers, and graduate students.
Sincerely,
Marie Clapot, Nina Levent and Rebecca McGinnis
