The 2017 Art Ed Now Winter Conference Schedule Is Here!

Art Ed Now—AOE’s Winter Online Conference—is just over two weeks away! Today, we’re unveiling the official conference schedule so you can review all of the incredible presentations and begin to plan your day!

Unlike most in-person conferences, you don’t have to choose which presentations to attend.

Each presentation is between 10 and 15 minutes long, and you have the opportunity to see them ALL!

AOE Founder Jessica Balsley will guide you through the day with introductions, announcements, raffles, and other information in between each presentation.


After Pass LogoIf you miss a few presentations, don’t worry!

They will ALL be available after the conference with the AOE After Pass. In fact, the AOE After Pass allows you access to every single presentation, handout, and download, plus an EXTRA six presentations for an entire year after the conference!


There will also be some awesome opportunities for art making.

This is especially true if you received a Swag Box as one of the first 1,500 people to register.

In addition to many other great items, the Swag Box included two samples of Mod Podge! No wonder people are excited!

In fact, Suzanne Cook and Chris Williams will be presenting “Working Smarter and Stronger in 3D with Mod Podge,” where they will share some great ideas for quality 3D work in your classroom. They’ll talk about everything from paper sculpture to mixed media work, including using Mod Podge to finish clay projects. You’ll leave bursting with new project ideas for your classroom. So get out your sketchbook and artmaking materials, and get ready for a day filled with real-world advice, inspiration, hands-on learning, and creativity!


Plus, check out this winter’s amazing featured presenters!

Just last week, we announced that Drew Daywalt, author of The Day The Crayons Quit, will be one of our featured presenters. Along with author Mike Venezia and classroom management expert Michael Linsin, these will be 3 inspirational presentations you won’t want to miss! Let’s have Drew tell you about it:
