Professional Development for Educators

Artist Teacher Group

The Network of East Anglian Art Teachers (NEAAT) have partnered with the Sainsbury Centre to allow Artists / Teachers the opportunity to develop their creative practice, alongside peers, in our purpose-built learning studio.

The sessions allow participants to explore the relationship between being a practicing artist and an art teacher.

Join these informal peer-led sessions to:
– Share ideas and experience of maintaining a creative practice alongside teaching.
– Benefit from the time and space to be creative away from your usual place of work, or home.
– Revisit projects from the past, or develop new ideas.
– Discuss and share your current practice with others.
– Be playful, experiment, make mistakes, and think through making.
– Take inspiration from the Sainsbury Centre’s collections and exhibitions.

FREE, but pre-booking is essential, as spaces are limited to x20. Tea and Coffee provided on arrival.
