The Indian Art and Design Educators association is a vibrant professional network of Art Educators from across the country. The Association hosts a number of knowledge sharing events through the year, the largest of which is the annual conference attracting over 200 art educators who collectively impacting over 1,50,000 students in schools across the country. This year the annual conference will be in Delhi at the India International Center on October 3rd and 4th and the theme will be "Art Integrated Learning". Recognising that Art is no longer a minor extra curricular class but one that is connected to and that facilitates a deeper understanding of all other subjects.

The two days are packed with speaker sessions, workshops, panel discussions and visits to art spaces. Speakers and workshop facilitators from India and abroad are invited from various backgrounds in Art Education including in-schools, after-school programs, museums, art book publishers for children and so on. Art Galleries and Museums offer special tours for our event attendees and important Artists work with our teachers to develop free lessons and other resources for the art teachers to take back to their schools. The format of the event encourages interaction in large and small groups and a constant exchange of ideas.

We encourage schools to send not only their art teachers but also academic coordinators and even principals to experience creativity and learning at its very best.
