On November 13, 2021 AEMS hosted a a day of exciting, insightful, and compelling experiences to deepen Maryland arts educators' understanding of anti-racism and abolitionist teaching in arts education, produced in partnership with Baltimore Corps.
The virtual symposium included keynote speaker Gloria Ladson Billings, breakout sessions focusing on racial equity facilitation, small group affinity spaces, and arts education centered workshops to address national trends that may affect the classroom.
We encourage everyone to continue deepening their understanding of anti-racist and abolitionist teaching in arts education.
