Spring Educator Workshop: Art & Activism

Apr 26 2025

10:30 am–4 pm

Seattle Art Museum

Arnold Board Room (entire)

Join us for an engaging workshop that explores the powerful intersection of art and activism. Art has emerged as a potent tool for raising awareness, inspiring action, and fostering community dialogue. This workshop is designed for educators wanting to learn about art as activism, arts integration in their classroom, and engage in creative exercises that demonstrate how to use art to address social issues. This workshop includes resources and Washington State Clock Hours.

Free with registration required. K–12 educators, paraeducators, subject area coaches, and administrators are welcome to attend.

Support for K-12 programs during the 2024-2025 school year is provided by the BNSF Railway Foundation, Foster Foundation, and Freeman Foundation. Partial, sustained support for SAM’s K-12 programs is provided by an endowment established in 1999 by a National Endowment for the Humanities challenge grant and the generous contributions of matching donors, including the Ann P. Wyckoff Education Endowment. The William Randolph Hearst Endowed Fund for Education Programs at the Seattle Art Museum has supported SAM K–12 programs since 1994.

Educator Workshops

Educator Workshops provide teachers with rich opportunities to relate the arts directly to lived experiences. SAM’s virtual and on-site professional development workshops offer K–12 educators and administrators techniques and ideas for integrating popular culture, art, and cultural objects into classroom learning.
