JOIN US FOR 6×6, a fast-paced educational event??featuring six teaching artists presenting six-minute talks??on various topics. Loosely modeled on the worldwide Pecha Kucha phenomenon,??6×6 is a great opportunity to meet new people and think about a provocative topic related to the arts, education, and teaching artistry.??

If you are looking to hire a teaching artist, or if you are a teaching artist wanting to meet other artist-educators, 6×6 is a great place to gather and discuss ideas.??
