2025 BCATA Conference
October 24 & 25, 2025
We are pleased to once again host the BCATA Conference at the University of British Columbia.
“Weaving Community Through Art” is the theme for the upcoming BCATA conference this October, 2025.
While “weaving” is used metaphorically to represent the interconnectedness of our artistic community, attendees can look forward to an inspiring lineup with a dynamic keynote speaker, workshops, and presentations spanning the full spectrum of Arts education.
The BCATA is excited to announce Dana Claxton, renowned artist and Arts Educator, as the keynote speaker for our next “Weaving Community Through Art” conference.
Dana Claxton is a critically acclaimed artist who works with film, video, photography, single/multi- channel video installation, and performance art. Her practice investigates indigenous beauty, the body, the socio-political and the spiritual. Her work has been shown at the Museum of Modern Art (NYC), Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC), Walker Art Centre (Minneapolis, MN), Sundance Film Festival, Salt Lake City (UT), Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art…

List of Workshops
We have an incredible line up of in person and on-line workshops for you. Click here to check out the workshop offerings:
- Register for BCATA Conference 2025- Weaving Community Through Art
- Using a computer rather than your phone makes the registration process the easiest.
- On the conference registration form itself, in order to select “Early Bird”, please click on the “Regular Fee” first, and then go back to select “Early Bird”. (Strange? Yes! We have been trying to solve this glitch- sorry about that.)
- If you are a presenter, please have the presenter code ready to insert in the form in order to have your registration waived. (We have discovered that leaving the form and coming back to it later causes some confusion on my spreadsheet.)
- On the payment page, be sure to click “Canada” at the top of the “Billing Address” so you can list your province and postal code (rather than state and zip code).
- Be sure to click the final check box on the payment page (“I confirm that I am of legal age and agree to the PayPal Privacy Statement.”)
- Thanks everyone!
We hope to see you at the conference!
Thank you to CSEA for helping the us at the BCATA to create a safe and reliable registration venue for the 2025 conference.
