Conference 2022 Logo


They say the one thing in life that is inevitable—is change. We just need to look around us to see changes in our society, natural and built environments, climate, technology, and the pandemic. Through it all, art teachers continually remain open-minded, flexible, and adaptive to the changes around them and their responses to those changes.

A Change In Climate is the theme of the 2022 NYSATA Conference. Workshops and speakers will focus around: 
  • art education for social-emotional health
  • art for preservation
  • artists who focus on climate change and the environment
  • working with non toxic materials and “green” alternatives 
  • art and social/political activism
  • art for equity and social justice
  • collaboration for change
  • new platforms and methods for teaching in a digital world
  • art lessons about change
  • artmaking for personal and professional growth 
  • ​advocating for the critical role of art education within a changing education arena
  • student choice and student voice

NYSATA has partnered with the Doubletree Hotel in Binghamton, NY for this in-person event, November 18-22, 2022. Watch your email and the NYSATA website for more information and a call for workshop proposals due May 1.
