AccessArt runs an ongoing programme of Zoom CPD to help support educators develop their understanding of the visual arts.
The majority of our CPD is offered free of charge to AccessArt members, and with the exception of the collaborative CPD, most of our zoom sessions are recorded and made available as a library resource to members.
Autumn Term 2024
This Autumn Term, we’re excited to create a Zoom offer which celebrates all the AccessArt community, making sure everyone feels included, regardless of the educational setting you work in.
We welcome classroom teachers, home educators, artist educators, facilitators in care homes and hospitals, and a whole wealth of other educators to our website and programme. Join our supportive network as we inspire and enable visual arts education for learners in all settings.
