Critical Making: Reimagining Community Care Through Arts Education
Join us for Critical Making, an inspiring conference that brings together visionary workshop teachers Conrad Benner, Manuella Guillein, Debora Charmelus, Candy Gonzales, and Kate Lien for a day of shared learning, dialogue, and hands-on collaboration. This gathering centers community-care practices in arts education, offering practical strategies for accessibility, equity-driven teaching, and creative engagement across ages and disciplines.
Participants will connect with fellow educators and artists, exchange ideas rooted in experimentation and responsive pedagogy, and leave with new tools for building inclusive, impactful learning experiences. Whether you’re a teaching artist, educator, or arts advocate, this conference is an opportunity to learn, reflect, and invest in the future of community-based arts education.
❤️ Proceeds support our Accessing the Arts campaign, helping remove barriers to arts education.
Artist Convening takes place at The Arts League (4226 Spruce Street Philadelphia, PA) on Saturday February 28 10am-3:30pm and lunch will be provided to all participants. There are stairs between workshops
