The Energy. The Color. The Community.
WYAEA Spring Conference 2026 is Coming to Laramie.
There are moments in the school year when you feel it — that need to recharge, to reconnect, to remember why you chose to teach art in the first place.
This is one of those moments.
The Wyoming Art Education Association Spring Conference is happening March 21–22, 2026 in Laramie, and it’s shaping up to be an inspiring, hands-on, community-centered experience for art educators across our state.
This isn’t just another conference.
It’s:
-
🎨 Hands-on workshops you can actually use on Monday
-
🎤 Inspiring keynote voices that challenge and energize
-
🤝 Real conversations about teaching art right now
-
💡 Creative collaboration with your people
We’ll also kick off the weekend with a Special Friday Night Event at the University of Wyoming Art Museum — because art educators deserve to gather, celebrate, and connect in beautiful creative spaces.
And here’s something I’m especially excited about:
Pre-Service Educators attend FREE.
If you are a student teacher, practicum student, or art education major — this is your invitation. Come build relationships. Come find mentors. Come see what our Wyoming art education community looks like in action.
Why This Matters
As art educators, we often work in our own rooms — sometimes isolated in our buildings, sometimes the only art teacher in our district.
The WYAEA conference reminds us:
We’re not alone.
We’re part of something bigger.
We are building the future of art education in Wyoming together.
So come ready to create.
Come ready to learn.
Come ready to leave inspired.
Registration is open at the WyAEA website.
