“The Access Art website is brilliant at supporting Art Educators like myself – it is really one of a kind and I’ve not come across anything like it in the UK”
AccessArt has been working to support artist educators in the UK and overseas since 1999.
AccessArt believes artists can make excellent educators. Creative practitioners of all levels are often uniquely placed to inspire others. AccessArt is proud to be able to help support your work as an artist educator in the following ways:
AccessArt Artist Educator Network
AccessArt has always valued the work that artist educators do in raising the status of arts in schools and the community, sharing their unique skills and approaches. We have supported artist educators for many years by helping to develop facilitation skills and ideas, through our evolving collection of resources.
We are keen to further support artist educators in the UK and overseas, to build awareness of the unique skills and approaches which artists can bring to education.
As an AccessArt Artist Educator member, you can use AccessArt as a place to share practice, find inspiration and connect with like-minded people through The AccessArt Network Group and Zoom events.
