Join us for a 3 day/2 night session hosted in partnership with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts with the purpose of bringing awareness and resources to educators about the importance of incorporating environmental education into art education. Come meet more members of the art community, see some breathtaking examples of art and learn with us. All accepted applicants will be expected to plan and implement an environmental arts project in their class or school with financial support from VA DCR. Only k-12 practicing educators from public, private, independent, or home school divisions are eligible to apply.
