The ARTIST TEACHER SCHEME is NSEAD’s flagship
national programme of continuing professional
development courses for teachers of art, design

both reflective and forward looking and which,
in the spirit of the Scheme’s central tenet,
focuses on the diverse voices and practice of
contemporary artists, artist teachers and
researchers.
The conference will be chaired by independent
curator and art educationalist Vivienne reiss.
The welcoming address will be made by Godfrey
Worsdale, Director, BALTIC, Gateshead. Speakers
are Fiona crisp, whose current exhibition,
Subterrania, is on show at BALTIC until Sunday
4 October; Wendy hyde, artist, researcher and
teacher; renée mussai, Archive Project Manager,
Autograph ABP, London; michaela ross, artist and
researcher; and Judy thomas, artist and Learning
Manager, Waygood Gallery and Studios,

A selection of work by artist teachers and a
showreel of artist teachers’ work will be on
