Workshops

Center ARTES workshops are active, engaging opportunities to refresh your perspective as an educator. Each workshop is conducted by an experienced artist or educator who will expose you to the central techniques and understandings of their disciplines. These rich experiences will: expose you to specific art forms; inspire you with ideas for using these art forms to teach subject matter; connect you with other educators with whom you can share teaching strategies and ideas; and bring you a couple hours of active enjoyment.
