Yet each year, come fall, I am still aware of back-to-class vibrations in the air and my inner professor seeks to remind me he is there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">This year, at the same time, I am reflecting on the materials we have put together to support community engagement work. This thinking was generated by an email I got about one of my books. It said, in part, <\/p>\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px; text-align: center;\"><em>&#8220;I have to be honest, I haven&#8217;t finished it yet because I&#8217;m constantly having to digest the &#8216;YES&#8217; and &#8216;AMEN&#8217; moments I get from each section.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Every year I get 5-10 emails from new readers responding in ways not unlike this to the perspective the books have given them. So, the beginning of a new academic year feels like a good time to work on making all of these resources more widely known. ArtsEngaged has the following available for people in the field who want to support community engagement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Books (Paperback and ebooks)<ul><li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artsengaged.com\/books#bcna\">Building Communities, Not Audiences: The Future of the Arts in the United States<\/a><\/em> [A &#8220;why to&#8221; book about community engagement]<\/li><li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artsengaged.com\/books#engage\">Engage Now!

However, everything else is. If you are active in community engagement and are unaware of some of these resources, I would encourage you to familiarize yourself with them. And, <strong>if you <em>are<\/em> aware of these resources and consider them to be valuable I would ask you to share them with friends and colleagues as widely as you can.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doug<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Resources available for work in the arts and
