Voices of Region 8: Arts Educator Roundtable

Date: March 17th Time: 6:00–8:00 PM Attention all K–12 arts educators, higher ed faculty, teaching artists, arts education advocates!The Northeast Louisiana Arts Council invites arts educators from across Region 8 to participate in a facilitated roundtable conversation focused on listening - not presenting. This session is designed to give arts educators the opportunity to openly share their experiences, challenges, needs, and hopes related to arts education in our region. The goal is not to explain what the Arts Council does, but to hear directly from those teaching and advocating for the arts every day. Feedback gathered during this conversation will help inform the Arts Council’s future planning, advocacy efforts, and programming as we work to better support arts education across our twelve-parish region. This evening roundtable will include light refreshments and guided discussion by facilitator Drék Davis, Region 8 artist, art professor, and Department Head of Visual and Performing Arts at Grambling State University. Free to attend. Registration required. Space is limited! Register at the included link. *Feedback gathered through the Voices of Region 8 Roundtable Series will be used to inform the Arts Council’s strategic planning and future community initiatives. This series is supported in part by a grant from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council. Funding has also been provided by the National Endowment for the Arts.
