The Maine Art Education Association’s annual Fall Conference is a time for art educators in our state to gather together for professional development, conversations around curriculum and instruction, and time dedicated to working in a focused studio workshop for the duration of the session.
The intensive nature of our Fall Conference, and the setting at Haystack School of Crafts, gives art educators the opportunity to re-energize their commitment to education and the arts at the beginning of each school year, free from the distractions of daily life.
Studio workshops allow for extended conversations around the practice of teaching. We become students again, with outstanding artists and teachers as workshop facilitators. Communal meals, presentations, and our annual MAEA meeting are all avenues for connections and collaboration, serving as a catalyst for many more conversations and shared activities throughout the school year.
This conference encourages us to reflect on the potential for growth and interconnectedness as we join together at Haystack: taking the experience from Fall Conference back to our classrooms, to share with our students and colleagues; experienced teachers mentoring those new to the profession; and fostering the development of students in our arts classrooms.
