Through the support of our valued partners, we are empowered to realise our ambitious vision of
providing accessible, high-quality art education initiatives to all. If you’re someone or an organisation that would like to assist us in reaching new heights, we’d love to hear from you.
Below are examples of programs made possible by our passionate partners.
Primary School Initiative supported by the Department of Education
Among a variety of ArtEdVic’s primary school initiatives is our professional
development program, VisualArts360. This program is tailored to support primary
school teachers in integrating visual arts and Cross Curricular Priorities (CCP) in
their classrooms. Through online webinars, Q&A sessions led by internationally
acclaimed contemporary artists and resouces, participants gain invaluable insights.
Our inaugural program series features Maree Clarke, sharing her unique perspective
on the revitalisation of southeast Australian Aboriginal art and culture.
Connecting with RMIT University, Museums and Galleries
We are deeply grateful for our partnerships with museums and galleries across 
Victoria, which enable us to host events such as the annual Re-assemble Conference.
Hosted in partnership with the RMIT University School of Art, this conference includes
partnerships with various galleries and museums to create experiencial experiences
learning through education in the arts. In 2024 our gallery partner for Re-assemble is
the National Gallery of Victoria. Our Annual Conference stands as a nexus for this
community. Attendees convene to network, acquire new skills, and immerse themselves
in creative experiences. Renowned Australian artists and dedicated Art Educators
contribute their insights, fostering peer learning and knowledge exchange.
VCE Art Initiative hosted by the National Gallery of Victoria
Our initiatives targeting VCE students, notably the KickstART program in parternship
with the National Gallery of Victoria, is instrumental in improving access to arts
resources. KickstART supports VCE Art Creative Practice and VCE Art Making and
Exhibiting, providing students and educators with a special presentation at the NGV
as well as high-quality toolkit for learning and practice. Through this student-led
program, students gain access to example portfolios and insights from high-scoring
peers, enhancing their understanding of folio development and fostering artistic expression.
Secondary School Initiative in partnership with Monash University and MUMA
The Secondary Art Education Symposium is one of the many secondary school 
initiatives hosted by ArtEdVic. Tailored for Visual Art Educators in Secondary School
Years 7-10 and VCE Art Educators, this Symposium emphasises personal growth
and ongoing learning. By encouraging educators to explore new pedagogical
approaches, and peer-to-peer learning, we empower them to enrich the artistic
expression of their students.
Our achievements and impact are made possible by the support of our partners and
sponsors. If you or your organisation shares our commitment to advancing art
education and would like to join us in our mission, we invite you to reach out to
hello[at]aev.vic.edu.au. Together, we can enhance access to quality art education for
communities across Victoria.
