Make It Matter! 2026 – Friday Night @Museum London

Ontario Art Education Association champions the power of creative education in a time of rapid change, supporting educators who build vibrant, inclusive classrooms. We celebrate artistic exploration rooted in cultural connection, identity, and community—going beyond the product and fostering deep, meaningful learning through the creative process. There are many ways in which the arts build connections and preserve communities. Sustaining arts education enriches traditions, practice, creative processes, and the time and space to do those things. By spotlighting Canadian artists, enriching practice, and nurturing joy, we help educators and students create art with purpose, skill, and a true sense of belonging.
