Visual Arts

Generative and collaborative Peer Learning Community for Visual Arts

We are excited to offer you the opportunity to join this vibrant community of visual art educators.

Whether you teach early years, elementary, middle school or high school artists this community is a space to share what works for you and your school. Plus, here you will discover great ideas that work for other visual arts educators and get help finding answers to your most pressing visual art questions.

The best professional development provides what you need when you need it. So these sessions will be hosted by a fellow visual art educator who will use your feedback to tailor the sessions to the needs of the community at that specific point in time.

By joining the visual art educator’s community you will be committing to learning alongside the most artistic and creative educators in the region. Together we can achieve more, so join us today!
