The major theme of ICACA 2011 is ‘Beyond Boundaries’, both real and imagined. As ‘boundaries’ suggest both barriers and closeness, they can be sites for fear, hesitation, uncertainty and reluctance; or they can be dynamic and fluid places of discovery, change, assimilation, acculturation, convergence, transformation, development, transgression and transcendence. ICACA 2011 intends to explore the meaning, process and impact of ‘Beyond Boundaries’ in the arts in general, and primarily but not exclusively on these following sub themes:

• Methodology and theory
• Teaching and learning
• Creative process, knowledge and experience
• Preservation, revival, restoration and development
• Management, branding and/or marketing
• Community engagement and empowerment
• Intellectual Property
