Do you know a high school art teacher in the Tristate area? If so they may be interested in a free, all-day professional development event being offered by the School of Visual Arts on November 16, 2024. The ARTEACHER Symposium will assemble a full roster of speakers, including award-winning illustrators, comic-book artists and educators who will “inform, inspire and energize” through presentations, activities and panel discussions on teaching visual storytelling.

I’m excited to be a featured speaker with a presentation called “Seriously Funny—Using Humor in the Classroom,” because to me, me comedy is serious business. I look forward to connecting with my SVA colleagues and meeting local educators as we discuss working and troubleshooting in the trenches of the art classroom.

The ARTEACHER Symposium will be held from 9:30am to 4:00pm on Saturday, November 16, 2024 in the SVA Graduate Center Screening Room, 136 West 21st Street, New York City.
