The Australian Council of University Art and Design Schools (ACUADS) is the peak body representing tertiary art, crafts and design education in Australia. ACUADS offers participation to the wider art and design sector by coordinating a theme-based annual conference (with rotating locations throughout Australia) as part of its professional development responsibility.

The 2011 conference takes place in Canberra.

The conference theme is: CREATIVITY: brain – mind – body

The 3-day program is built around the broader theme of creativity. The conference invites speakers to discuss creativity in practice-led research in Schools of Art and Design and academics and practitioners working with ideas involving visualisation, materiality, tradition, technology and hybridity.
