The second A-T in ACL conference will take place online in March 2023 and is intended as a space to bring together artist-teachers working in the sector to share good practices, research, ideas, and experiences.
The conference will build on the success of the 1st A-T in ACL conference and our aim to build a community for artist-teacher working in ACL. The conference will include a keynote address, participant contributions, and interactive art activities.
This conference welcomes contributions from artist-teachers in ACL at all stages of their careers, on their experience of being an artist-teacher in ACL. The conference accepts contributions in several forms including, but not limited to paper presentations, poster presentations, workshops, and arts-based research.
