The Kennedy Center Education Division is pleased to announce the Arts Education Conference (formerly Arts Integration Conference)! The conference focuses on sharing promising practices prioritizing arts education, inclusive of arts integration, in schools. This year’s conference will be held at the Renaissance Arlington Capital View in Arlington, VA from June 23-25, 2025.
Part of the VSA International Network, the Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disability (LEAD®) program focuses on expanding the breadth and scope of accessible cultural arts programming.
