Learning Symposium
The Learning Symposium aims to support all educators in the Visual Arts – primary, secondary, tertiary and adult educators – with fresh ideas from the world of art and education. We invite respected artists, art historians, curators and educators to respond to current issues relevant to classroom programming. Each year a new theme will be addressed and announced in Term 3.
This professional development symposium replaces Focus Fest at the beginning of Term 1 each year and incorporates the ARTEXPRESS Teachers Day.
