How Do You Keep the Artist in Art Educator?
Remember back when you were in college? Maybe that was last year or maybe 20 or more years ago or somewhere in between. Either way, I'm guessing you were an artist and an art major before you decided to become a teacher. For many of us continuing to make art while also dedicating time to being an educator can be challenging. For others making art is how we survive being an educator. Regardless of where you land on this spectrum this page is devoted to pushing you in new directions with your own art-making. The goal is to inform you of opportunities for exhibits, workshops, or challenges that will help keep your artist-educator tools creative and dripping with enthusiasm.
If you know of a creative workshop, challenge or exhibit you think folks would be interested in fill in the form here and we will do our best to add it to this page. Please include an image, a link to the details about the opportunities and any other pertinent information.
