Creative & Joyful Teaching

Professional Development for Educators

Are you looking for ways to motivate and engage your students, while supporting learning standards? Arts Integration is a powerful approach to teaching!

Join professional artists from Arts Impact for upcoming summer workshops. Our team will share tools and techniques to help you bring learning to life through art in your classroom.

You do NOT have to be an artist to participate. You will leave with lessons and ideas you can use right away. Choose the content area/grade levels that interest you. Come for just one workshop or stay for a full day.
