New York State Art Teachers Association 76th Annual Conference
November 22-24, 2024  |  DoubleTree Hotel by Hilton  |  Binghamton, NY 

The theme of the 2024 NYSATA Conference is Artistic Intelligence. Speakers explore human creative potential and its relationship to Artificial Intelligence (AI):

• How are creative thought and original work generated?
• What conditions contribute to the cultivation of artistic intelligence?
• Do technology and AI enhance or inhibit creative thought? What opportunities and limits are posed by the use of technology and AI in the art classroom?
• What resources can art teachers access to inspire students to use technology and/or AI appropriately to support creative practice?
• How do materials, both traditional and emerging, contribute to the development of new forms of artistic work?
• What social-emotional connections are generated through authentic, creative, artistic practice?
• What technological platforms have extended creative practice and inspired new out-of-the-box solutions?
