Back when we submitted the proposal, we were concerned about finding 50 or so institutions that would be interested in Bamboo. Well, the community more than exceeded our expectations and as a result, all of the workshops including the additional one at Princeton are now full with a waiting list for open slots. Because this, we are currently exploring ways for those who were unable to obtain a slot at one of the workshops to join in the conversation at a later date or in a different manner.

Registration is now open for the fourth instance of Workshop One, 1d, which will be held at on July 14-16. Special thanks to Center for Arts & Cultural Policy Studies at Princeton for helping sponsor the workshop.

The addition of a fourth workshop is welcomed as the Chicago workshop 1c is rapidly filling to capacity and registration has shifted to a waiting list. Institutions and organizations who formally register for the workshop will be notified by the Bamboo staff if they have a confirmed space.

To accommodate a wider range of institutions, the Bamboo Leadership Council agreed to add a fourth instance of Workshop 1, "Understanding Arts and Humanities Scholarship." The new workshop, Workshop 1d, is planned for July 14-16 and will be held on the East Coast. Location information will be posted as soon as it becomes available so teams can plan accordingly.

Workshop One Registration is Now Open

Institutions and organizations interested in participating in the Bamboo Planning Project are invited to formally join the effort by registering their team for one of the offerings of Workshop One, "Understanding Arts and Humanities Scholarship." Although we encourage teams to attend a workshop together, we realize that individual schedules may not allow that. As a result, your team members may attend separate workshops by selecting "Special Request" in the form and detailing your request in the comments field at the end of the application.
