ART FUSION

Art Fusion is an alliance between the Ontario Art Education Association, the Ontario Music Educators’ Association, and the Council for Ontario Drama and Dance Educators. We are pleased to offer 3 events to support educators, especially those who are teaching more than one art strand.

Our mission is to empower educators in the arts throughout Ontario by raising awareness about the unique challenges we face today. We strive to provide valuable opportunities for educators to delve into current best practices in arts education, encompassing visual arts, music, dance, and drama. Our commitment extends to offering a rich array of virtual and in-person events, resources, and materials designed to enhance teaching and learning experiences in the arts, ensuring every educator has the tools they need to inspire and nurture creativity in their students.
