This conference is hosted from 27 to 29 August, 2026 at the University of the Arts Helsinki, Finland. It invites researchers, artists and artist pedagogues across the fields of the arts.
This conference investigates current approaches to artist pedagogy and explores how artistic thinking both emerges from and influences teaching and education in the arts.
