2024 Education Program Proposals – Workshops / Seminars
2024 American Mosaic Summit: Artist Immersion
September 19 – 22, 2024
Proposal DEADLINE April 20, 2024
The Education Program is noted as the main reason members choose to attend our conference! If you are an experienced instructor who would like to touch the lives of the most enthusiastic mosaicists in the world, then we invite you to submit a course proposal.
Thursday, September 19th and Friday, September 20th, the Artist Immersion Education Program will focus on the Professional, Artistic and Technical Development of our members. Proposals for 2-hour seminars, 4-hour (half-day) workshops or seminars, 8-hour (full day), and 16-hour (2-Day) workshops will be accepted. Workshops will be classified as “Hands-On” – are described as technical or material centered wherein the participants do manipulate materials and create a project or practice a technique. Seminars or “Demo/Lecture” – are described as informational or discussion centered wherein the participants will not manipulate materials but participate in a discussion of the topic. This would include demonstration presentations.
Due to the time constraints of our program, we ask that potential instructors keep the time frame in mind when composing their course content. SAMA and our member attendees do not expect a week’s worth of content to be squeezed into one day. We do however expect that all attendees walk away from the courses with ample understanding of your subject, reference material and/or tactical experience with a method and enough inspiration to continue further study and work on the subject.
Terms:
Course compensation is set by SAMA and scaled by course length, instructor experience, and prior demand. Workshop registration fees for courses are split 40% instructor/ 60% SAMA. Any Materials Fees will be established and reimbursed separately. Prior attendee evaluations of courses are considered during the selection process.
We recommend the preparation of requested information BEFORE attempting to complete the form for submission. We recommend writing the text area in advance and copy/pasting entries in the form at the time of submission.
