ARTS UNLEASHED 2025
TESTIMONIALS

Arts Unleashed was made to feel like an event, not just a conference with sessions. The extra details such as the mixer and improv, the live music and graffiti colouring on t-shirts during registration, and the lovely lunch with an entertaining speaker, all made it feel personal and inclusionary, beyond just showing up for sessions.

Arts Elevated 2026, presented by the ATA Fine Arts Council, is Alberta’s premier gathering for creative educators—a dynamic, hands‑on conference designed to elevate your practice, your artistry, and your impact in the classroom. Over two full days, you’ll dive into high‑energy workshops, innovative teaching strategies, and inspiring sessions led by leading artists, educators, and arts organizations from across the province.

Whether you teach music, drama, dance, visual art, or work across disciplines, Arts Elevated offers practical tools, fresh ideas, and collaborative experiences that spark creativity and strengthen your work with students. Join us as we celebrate the power of arts education and build a vibrant community of teachers committed to elevating the arts in Alberta schools.
