BCATA

Welcome to the BCATA

The BCATA is a group of Art educators working to create exciting Art education opportunities and connections for art teachers across the province. We are a diverse group of people from different parts of BC that care about providing resources, professional development, advocacy and networking for our Art teachers community. This non-profit organization is run by volunteers committed to support children and art education through advocacy, publication of teaching resources and the organization of professional development experiences. We welcome new Art teachers to become members of the BCATA.
