Professional Learning & Research Grants

2025 Grant Program: Alchemy

The VADEA NSW Professional Learning and Research Grants for 2025 were officially launched at VADEA's 2025 Conference - Alchemy: Transforming Visual Arts Curriculum and Pedagogy. This program provides an exciting opportunity for VADEA NSW to support VADEA member delegates and presenters to develop a unit of work, case study or extend their research and strategies for transformative classroom practice.

Proposals for 2025 are to be informed by the theme of Alchemy, the conference manifesto and inspired by the conference program of keynotes, presentations, workshops and breakout sessions to activate collaborative professional learning with a focus on the content and terminology of the new Creative Arts K-6 (Visual Arts) and Visual Arts 7-10 Syllabuses (2024).
