New Visions Conference 2026 🎨

On Saturday, we invited artists, educators and academics to the MAC to explore building classroom spaces that nourish creative expression, critical thinking, and risk-taking for both ArtistTeachers and students.

The day was packed with dynamic events, from thought-provoking panel discussions to hands-on immersive workshops. We heard from a varied lineup of artists, educators, facilitators, and educational specialists, each bringing their unique experiences and expertise to the table.

We want to say a thank you to all of our attendees for their contributions throughout the day, the Freelands Foundation for supporting this event and to our Artists for sharing their wealth of knowledge and experience.
