Proposals received by December 1, 2024 will be given priority consideration.

Share your talent and expertise with university students and faculty from around our region!

Workshops are scheduled in either 50- or 100-minute sessions. If you are participating in other areas of the Festival, we will gladly work around those commitments.

Developing a workshop can be as easy as adapting a class lesson or showcasing a new method or strategy you have created. While this is a great experience for students and faculty, it’s also a great opportunity to further professional development goals or add to your tenure portfolio.

Proposal Considerations

• Proposals should be inclusive of all participants, no matter their background, skill, or ability.
• Workshop leaders should have a professional background as a practicing artist or arts educator, or commensurate experience. Graduate students (with faculty mentorship) are encouraged to submit workshop proposals.
• KCACTF is unable to provide honoraria/stipend for workshop presenters.
• Proposals that promote or sell a product, recruit/hire, or intend to market an organization, company, or service will not be selected.
• All leaders will be asked to complete KCACTF Region 3 Anti Bias training (1 hour video series).
