Creative Leaps is brought to you by Associated Solo Artists, Inc. Our two divisions, The Learning Arts and Creative Leaps International, have been working as artists, advocates, and educators nationally and internationally for over twenty years. Creative Leaps is a celebration of what we've learned, and a means for meeting the challenges and opportunities of the future.

Our goal is to be a unique resource for the emerging field of interdisciplinary learning, its importance to education and leadership practices, and its fertile relationship with the arts. In Creative Leaps, you'll find: insights and perspectives from thinkers whose work spans and intersects these domains; reports on best practices from interdisciplinary partnerships among teachers and teaching artists; interviews and guest articles from leaders and practitioners on the front lines; headliner book reviews; and specially-selected reprints from the journals of our national and international collaborators.

Best of all, we hope, you'll find ways to rediscover and renew the passion and commitment that drives us all, making our work possible and viable. Whether you're a classroom teacher, philosopher, artist or administrator-or something in between-we look forward to learning with you as we continue to expand our horizons, searching always for new methods of learning, creating, and comprehending our ever-complex world.

We invite you to contact us in the coming months as we continue to grow, to share your ideas for how we can serve you and the field innovatively and well.
