NAFAE is...

NAFAE offers a forum for the concerns and interests of Fine Art educators to be disseminated and heard.


As universities and FE institutions face the challenges of a significant reduction in government funding, together with rising tuition fees, the need to represent the collective voice of the sector is as crucial as it has ever been.

Conference summary



‘Where do you make art?’

NAFAE are conducting a brief survey to gain a better understanding of the contemporary studio. They want students to submit a short visual essay of one to three images in response to the site or sites for making.


NAFAE want to collect student responses in time for this year’s National Association for Fine Art Education London seminar so that they can present a broad picture of the diversity of practice across a range of Visual and Fine Art courses.
