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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" 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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" 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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Engage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doug<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Resources available for work in the arts and community engagement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5697,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Community Engagement Resources:  Resources available for work in the arts and community engagement.","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[32,59,4,5,10],"tags":[12,13,84],"class_list":["post-5694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-building-communities","category-engage-now","category-overview","category-principles","category-the-practice-of-engagement","tag-arts","tag-community-engagement","tag-resources","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1G6h9-1tQ","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/engage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/CommunityConnectionLogos-H-2017-Final-e1565978638805.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/engage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/engage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/engage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/engage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/engage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5694"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/engage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5694\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5714,"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/engage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5694\/revisions\/5714"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/engage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/engage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/engage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/engage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
