What is Face to Face?

Virtual Dates: April 15 – 18, 2024
In-Person Dates: April 24 – 25, 2024

The Face to Face Arts in Education Conference is the largest, most comprehensive arts education convening in New York State. In 2024, our annual flagship conference will start with a week of virtual professional learning workshops and conclude with a two-day conference expected to serve more than 700 arts educators and administrators.

Conference Sponsors will have a direct impact on our ability to bring together arts education practitioners from across the region (and nation!) to share best practices, discuss policy, and address enduring issues such as quality, assessment, sustainability, professional development, equity and inclusion, and art and social justice.
