Join us at The National Gallery's new Roden Centre for Creative Learning on Saturday 20 June to celebrate our 2026 NSEAD Award nominees and winners, and connect with other art, craft and design educators.
Since 1888, the NSEAD professional learning community has been at the forefront of advancing better practice in art, craft and design education. The NSEAD Awards shine a spotlight on the remarkable work of our members across the United Kingdom, celebrating their dedication, creativity and impact.
These awards recognise individuals, schools and organisations who have championed our subject, challenged boundaries, inspired change and demonstrated innovation within the sector.
Let's raise the profile of our community, our subject and its learners, together.
