Art of Belonging is a free conference put on through the partnership between OSPI Arts Program, the Migrant Education Program, and the various Arts Education Programs around the state, including the Washington Art Education Association.

This is our second year of collaborating with the Arts Education Programs and embracing the theme “Art of Belonging.” The goal of this collaboration is to provide educators, administrators, advocates, and other staff with an opportunity to reimagine how they serve migratory students and their families in Washington state with an emphasis on the Arts.

WAEA is hosting 4 sessions, all facilitated by Hiep Nguyen, from Circle Painting and Draw all You Can. He is being assisted by Jessica Holloway, Visual Arts Coordinator and Educator in Bellevue Public Schools.

All 4 sessions are on different techniques so you can learn from the WAEA and Hiep, or you can hop over to the sessions that the Theater, Music, Migrant, and Dance Programs are providing.
