Young Audiences Arts for Learning’s 2018 national conference will take the form of a professional learning gathering. Participants will follow one of seven learning strands, each representing a key area of professional focus within arts-in-education: Executive Leadership, Board Leadership, Education and Programming, Development and Fundraising, Communications and Marketing, Finance, Operations and Technology, and Teaching Artistry. Each group’s curriculum will dive deep into their chosen area, and will also explore topics from other learning strands that impact and inform their work.
