Independent School Art Instructors Association

 

For almost one hundred years educators have been meeting annually to discuss common practices in uncommon institutions. Typically over the course of our weekend conference we will enjoy the opportunity to meet both formally and informally with like-minded colleagues, with elements entailing: member presentations about best practices - the heart of the conference, a cocktail meet-and-greet session, a dinner and keynote presentation from industry leaders; and visits to art institutions, galleries and museums. Member presentation topics range from successful assignments, studio practices, tools of the trade, technology, showcasing student talent, and so much more.
