The 2022 National Visual Art Education Conference presents a program of active and activating learning experiences that challenge and empower all educators to embed First Nations perspectives in their practice.

Presented online, with opportunities for in-person attendance at the National Gallery, the conference program combines presentations and artist talks, interactive workshops, opportunities for reflection and conversation, and access to a portal of tools, frameworks and resources to support teaching and learning.

This schedule is subject to change, with additional speakers and workshops to be advised.
