The National Visual Art Education Conference (NVAEC) brings together teachers, artists, cultural practitioners and thought-leaders to inspire and energise best-practice teaching and learning in the visual arts. Australia’s only national education conference dedicated to visual art, NVAEC is a key professional development opportunity for educators working in schools, arts, health and community organisations.
In 2022, the NVAEC is presented alongside the 4th National Indigenous Art Triennial: Ceremony. Curated by Hetti Perkins, Arrernte and Kalkadoon peoples, the exhibition presents artworks as “active ingredients” or “radical agents” – works that are active; works that are activist; works that activate.
