50th Anniversary Artists in Residence Programme
Over the past half century, the Faculty of Education has fostered and promoted the arts as a way to know, to research, to learn, to communicate, and to inspire. Indeed, as educators, we believe that everyone has inestimable gifts for learning creatively, and that creative approaches are essential to learning. To honour the Faculty’s contributions to creative learning, the Faculty is sponsoring six artists in residence as follows:
