Reintegrate Ideas Talk

The Arts Council of Greater New Haven was invited to participate in the 2013 International Festival of Arts & Ideas with an Ideas Talk about our Reintegrate project on Wednesday, June 19th, 2013. The seven Reintegrate teams presented their projects and participated in an on-stage discussion with event moderator Carl Zimmer, an award-winning science writer and columnist for The New York Times. The event took place at the Yale Center for British Art and was followed by a reception at the Green Gallery at the Yale School of Art in New Haven, CT.

The crowd for the Ideas Talk filled the auditorium at the Yale Center for British Art to capacity. We also filled the 30-person overflow room with simulcast.

Award-winning science writer and New York Times columnist Carl Zimmer was the moderator for the event, which included a panel discussion.
