This two-day colloquium, "Enlightened Advocacy: Implications of Research for Arts Education Policy and Practice," was a forum for current thought on:

• the parameters of research in arts education
• recent arts education research studies identified as worthy of serious attention
• how the results of research studies in arts education are being used and to what effect
• the priority issues in arts education research for the next decade

This colloquium was directed to an audience of arts educators and arts education administrators at levels from early childhood through college, especially those who work in schools and colleges. It was also of importance to education policy makers at local, state and national levels, members of the community concerned with education (parents, day-care workers, others who work with youth), and professionals in the arts. All participants were happy to take advantage of this exciting opportunity to hear about research in arts education and to discuss its implications for setting policy and for affecting what happens in the classroom.
