Join NJAM and colleagues from across the state to network, share, listen, and learn at this year’s Annual Meeting.
Traveling between disciplines promotes the exchange of ideas and resources outside of our traditional boundaries. The value added is often exponential, opening new conversations to learn methodologies, expand our knowledge base, and discover the common threads that connect our shared visions. The Annual Meeting will be an opportunity to discuss cross-disciplinary collaborations and the benefits of cultivating partnerships in unexpected places.
Keynote Speaker: Zakiyyah Williams
Manager of Arts and Culture, Maplewood Township
Keynote Scope: "What Healing Our Community Look Like", presenting the empact of "Creative Healing" and collective effort which embodies the powerful philosophy of "Each one, teach one". Focusing on the transformative impact with shared learning and mutual support in arts communities with inclusivity. I will be expressing how integrating arts, wellness practices, developmental support can address emotional, physical, and spiritual needs, fostering an environment where healing is both a personal journey and a collective endeavor. This approach underscores the belief that healing our community looks like a tapestry of individual stories and strengths woven together, creating a resilient and vibrant space where each member plays a crucial role in the wellbeing of all.
