Unlocking Funding for Your Visual Arts Program: Leveraging Federal and State Resources to Enhance Arts Education
[September 10, 2025 | 7pm ET] In response to the U.S. Department of Education’s renewed commitment to arts education, this informative webinar will provide public school visual arts educators with strategies to unlock federal and state funding sources for enhancing their arts programs. Join us to explore how federal provisions under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), IDEA, and Perkins V can support well-rounded, equity-focused arts education in your school. Participants will learn how Title I, Title II, and Title IV funds can be allocated to strengthen arts programming, from integrating arts with core subjects to providing dedicated resources for English learners and students with disabilities. The webinar will also cover the new Assistance for Arts Education (AAE) discretionary grant program, which offers opportunities to fund professional development, instructional materials, and arts-based educational programming.
NAEA Open Studio Conversation: ED&I Commission
[September 18, 2025 | 7pm ET] Open Studio Conversation with NAEA's ED&I Commission
Honoring Indigenous Lands and Peoples: Addressing Myths, Stereotypes, and Misconceptions to Support Art Educators
[October 22, 2025 | 7pm ET] We invite you to participate in a thoughtful webinar presented by members of the Kentucky Native American Heritage Commission. This session will explore the importance of honoring Indigenous lands while illuminating the challenges faced by Native Americans throughout the country, and in particular Kentucky, which are often compounded by a lack of awareness and resources. Our presenters will share a concise overview of their regional Native history within the broader context of Indigenous histories across the United States. Together we will thoughtfully examine and deconstruct prevalent myths, stereotypes, and misconceptions that influence perceptions of Native peoples in North America. Additionally, we will discuss effective strategies for addressing these inaccuracies in educational settings, fostering a more informed and inclusive classroom environment.
