Past Programs: Summer 2002

In the summer of 2002 internationally renowned instructors presented an extended workshop with hands-on learning opportunities in a Grindstone Island Seminar. The multi-day format and availability of a networked multimedia computer laboratory means all participants can both learn and apply what they have learned. (Note: some courses were offered in French or bilingually, in English and French).

Salons 2002
Participants apply to join a small group for discussion and debate around shared concerns at a Grindstone Salon. Agendas and outcomes are decided by the attendees - who will meet electronically prior to assembling on Grindstone Island - and may include publications, exhibits, joint projects, or in-depth critical discourse. A facilitator with valuable experience will help a carefully selected group achieve its objectives.

If you are interested in attending a salon, please return the application form available on-line and email a separate 'statement of interest' to grindstone@archimuse.com. Convenors will review statements and select participants.
