We are getting ready to launch more aspects of the weekend live on our website.
Workshops - call for more presenters
As we have expanded the number of participants from previous years, we are still looking for more workshop presenters. These could be hands-on practical workshops, or something focused on pedagogy, technology and other aspects of Art education. If you would like to present please complete the form on our website page for presenters. On this page you can also see a list of what kind of workshops are being offered already to help you decide.
Thank you for all who have offered to present - we literally cannot do the event without workshops! We will be contacting presenters to confirm your workshop and make sure we get everything ready for you.
Field Trips
Booking your field trip. We are finalising the excursions and these will go live for booking very soon. In the meantime you can take a look at our this page to see what excursions will be offered and start considering which you would like to book.
Socials:
We will have plenty of networking social opportunities as we know this is an important part of the event. A form will go out soon for you to indicate which of the socials you would like to attend and any dietary requirements. Check this page for more information on socials.
Keep an eye out for future emails from us at VSA - more to follow soon.
Thank you for your interest.
