Sign up to Volunteer in the Open Art Studio at AATA2025!
Attending this conference is more than just about the learning opportunities, although there are more than 190 sessions to choose from included in your registration. What always makes this conference so special are the people: We come together as a community, connect with others from around the globe—and inspire one another!
At the heart of the conference is the Open Art Studio. It’s literally where people come to process what they’re learning, make new friends, or just create! It’s a special place—and as the Conference Arts Chair, I want to make sure that it’s both welcoming and well-stocked. And that’s why I’m asking for the help of AATA’s student members.
We are looking for energetic individuals who are attending the conference and willing to donate time to set-up, break-down, or help manage the Open Art Studio.
