2017 October Conference
This year the ATA is returning to Halifax to offer dynamic workshops and the chance to meet as a professional organization to discuss the changing roles of educators and to hold its AGM. The 2017 conference will be taking place at a variety of great art locales in the HRM.
Given the multi-location format, we have decided to hold the AGM at a central location before the sessions begin. After a brief nutrition break, participants will travel to the various workshops by 10:00 when they will begin. The sessions include the opportunity for an hour-long lunch/nutrition break around noon and then resume until you wrap up for 3:00. Please note that conference receipts will not be given to participants until the end of the workshop as per NSTU policy.

Our participants come from a variety of backgrounds, some with degrees in Visual Arts, others with no formal training. All however, come with an interest and curiosity to learn more, and are looking for new ideas to take back into the classroom; they are happy to roll up their sleeves, get messy and make art.
"Failure and its' accompanying misery is for the artist his most vital source of creative energy." Montgomery Clift
