    My PhD work was on this concept. My reason about why this is
    happening, which I will be presenting at NAEA (National Arts
    Education Assiciation) Conference next month in New Orleans, is the
    fact that the world is in a "renaissance" where the arts/artists are
    looked at as philosophers once were. THey are merging globalization,
    humanities and social issues together. What is happening now is what
    Dr. Suzanne Lacy refers to as the "Great Turning", where the world is
    tired of technology, impersonalization, and 'fast' communities. The
    younger generations are now opting for DIY activies, learning
    domesticated crafts such as knitting, spinning(yarn), needlepoint and
    quilting. These interests result in envoronmental and humanitarian
    choices that better society as a whole and create kinder communities.
    Good luck with your speech, I know you will do great. If you need any
    more help, feel free to ask. 

Best,
Nicole Wilkinson
