We are delighted to announce the launch of a regional NSEAD community for the South West; a forum to share best practice, skills, and ideas; a professional support network; and a shared space to celebrate the subject we love.
_____
Tuesday 27 October 2026, 11am – 3pm
Arnolfini, Bristol BS1 4QA
_____
A Community of Practice for Art Educators from Swindon to the Scilly Isles.
Be there at the beginning and help us shape the region’s art and design education community.
Our first in-person meeting will take place on Tuesday 27 October, 11am – 3pm, in the Light Gallery, Arnolfini, Bristol.
The day will include a creative workshop, an introduction to artist/teacher residency programmes, a first look at upcoming national curriculum changes, and most importantly - opportunity to have fun and build generative connections between teachers and educators in the region. We’ll enjoy tea and coffee in the Light Gallery, and Arnolfini will be hosting a major survey of work by the wonderful Joy Gregory too.
If travelling from beyond the city, it’s a short walk from Bristol Temple Meads. We’d love to see you there (please bring some lunch)!
