Global Conferences & Symposia

The Association stays in touch all the while through this website, but it also meets together every two years for a grand Biennial Conference. It is hosted by a city that is an active member of the association and members and guests from all over the World attend. Regional Symposia are also convened most particularly by CalPAMS in California and MuralRoutes in Toronto. Thus far, after an initial International Festival hosted in Katikati New Zealand in 1996, Global Conferences have been held every second year since 1998 in Canada, the USA, Scotland and Australia as follows:
