About this event

This NCDPI Arts Education day-long conference, hosted by Ligon Magnet Middle School, Wake County Public Schools, and proudly supported by NCMEA, serves as a statewide professional development opportunity for arts educators, district arts education leaders*, teaching artists, arts integration specialists, and pre-service teachers from across North Carolina working in K-12 programs, independent studios, performing arts organizations, and higher education institutions.

The mission of this conference is to support the three essential components of the North Carolina Comprehensive Arts Education Model: Arts Education, Arts Integration, and Arts Exposure. Sessions will be centered on the four K-12 Arts Education Standards core strands of Connect, Create, Present, and Respond in Dance, Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts.

*The Fall District Arts Education Leadership Meeting will be held the morning of this event.
