Hands-on and Minds-curious Art Learning

Art Professional Development that Fills Your Soul 🎨 ❤️

Art connection is more than making a copycat version of an artwork. It’s looking at art, talking about art, sitting with art that sparks something inside you, finding the places where it interacts with your own life, listening to what it says about the world, and finding your own interpretation and meaning. This summer, we’re getting together for the Curated Connections Experience so we can feel and teach the power of art. Learn More
