National Guild's Conference

The Conference for Community Arts Education brings together leaders and educators from a range of backgrounds each year to share knowledge, build relationships, and advance a common vision: a nation where arts education is accessible and embraced as essential for human development and healthy communities.

Join more than 700 leaders from across the country—staff, teaching artists, trustees, students, and our partners in other sectors—as we explore innovative ideas and practical strategies for growing programs, securing financial support, and increasing impact and participation, all while using the power of the arts to examine and challenge inequity, engender hope, and promote connected, creative communities.
