Professional Development for Educators
Artist Teacher Group
The Network of East Anglian Art Teachers (NEAAT) have partnered with the Sainsbury Centre to allow Artists / Teachers the opportunity to develop their creative practice, alongside peers, in our purpose-built learning studio.
The sessions allow participants to explore the relationship between being a practicing artist and an art teacher.
Join these informal peer-led sessions to:
– Share ideas and experience of maintaining a creative practice alongside teaching.
– Benefit from the time and space to be creative away from your usual place of work, or home.
– Revisit projects from the past, or develop new ideas.
– Discuss and share your current practice with others.
– Be playful, experiment, make mistakes, and think through making.
– Take inspiration from the Sainsbury Centre’s collections and exhibitions.
FREE, but pre-booking is essential, as spaces are limited to x20. Tea and Coffee provided on arrival.
Dates for 2025:

Teachers’ INSET
Wednesday, 26 March 1:30 – 5:30pm
Join us for an afternoon exploring the exhibitions in the lower galleries with our team of Associate Artists.
Draw inspiration from key works in A World of Water and Darwin in Paradise Camp: Yuki Kihara to respond creatively in a variety of media and forms.
This season, we are excited to be preparing a wide range of suggested activities for you to do with your students. In this packed four-hour-long session, you will be able to sample these yourself to get a feel for what might work well for your group.
There will be time to further develop the gallery activities in our studio, as you might when you return to the classroom. There will also be plenty of opportunity to discuss how the work in the exhibitions may address the season’s question.
The event is FREE of charge, but due to limited capacity, must be booked in advance: scvagroupvisits@uea.ac.uk
Teachers at UEA Outreach partnership schools may apply for funding to pay for cover staff if required.
Refreshments will be provided.
