Theme: EXPRESS - Expression to Empower and Inspire Through the Arts
Join us for the 2026 ACAMIS Conference for the Arts — a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the transformative power of artistic expression. This year’s theme, EXPRESS, invites arts educators to explore how authentic expression can empower learners, inspire communities, and ignite change through the arts.
Through hands-on workshops, performances, and collaborative sessions, participants will delve into how expression fuels confidence, builds agency, and deepens connection — for both students and teachers. Together, we’ll examine how fostering expressive spaces allows the arts to thrive as a vehicle for empathy, inclusion, and innovation in our schools.
Let’s come together to express, empower, and inspire — shaping a future where creativity leads the way.
