Our history

Read about where Art Teachers Connect came from.

The whole experience has reenergised me and given me a chance to reflect upon what I enjoy/do well and what I don’t. I’ve had ideas for new work/projects which I’m excited about trying out next term

This has been an incredible experience. I have felt valued in my profession, which is something that hasn’t happened for a long time. I feel enthusiastic, and ready to expand the art in school and my own personal art journey.

I feel completely rejuvenated and excited to go back into school. I do feel valued in my school however being here has made me feel much more valued in society and in a wider community.
