2026 Arts in Education Forum

                                                                     2026 ARTS IN EDUCATION FORUM

The SC Arts in Education Forum is a one-day event for leaders who influence and impact arts education in SC PK-12 education.

This year we will engage with the fundamental question that the 2025 SC Arts in Education Task Force has explored over the last eight months, "How do we expand access to arts learning in our current and future environment?"

Join us for:
•    A sneak peak into this group’s process, findings, determined priorities, and an action agenda for the next three years.
•    A keynote message by Mary Dell’Erba from the Arts Education Partnership.
•    Action Agenda Breakout sessions that engage public comment and experience promising practices from across the state.
