The Canadian Network for Arts & Learning is pleased to announce that we have received the support of the Azrieli Foundation as our Arts Education Professional Development Partner. Through this exciting partnership, The Network will be able to offer more valuable resources to Canada’s arts and learning practitioners through practical webinars, engaging roundtable discussions, a handbook for virtual arts instruction and increased focus on Canada’s Map for Arts & Learning.
“The Azrieli Foundation and The Canadian Network for Arts & Learning share in our purpose and commitment to improve the lives of present and future generations through education, research and the arts,” said Larry O’Farrell, Board Chair for The Network. “We are delighted to be partnering with The Azrieli Foundation who understands that the arts are essential for nurturing the health and wellbeing of students, individuals and communities, and are woven through the fabric of our diverse and dynamic country.”
Through our December roundtable discussion series, we discovered the emerging needs of the sector due to months of social distancing measures. This feedback was used when programming the webinar series, which will be announced in the upcoming weeks. Information shared and demonstrated through these webinars will form the basis of the virtual arts instruction which will be launched shortly afterwards.
We are grateful to The Azrieli Foundation for this support as together we endeavour to build a creative future for Canada.
