Join us for the 2025 Zart Conference as we dive into New/Now—a vibrant exploration of contemporary artmaking that expands traditional media, engages audiences in new ways, and embraces the creative potential of technology and AI. This year’s theme invites educators to refresh their own creative practice while gaining practical strategies for the classroom.

Through live workshops and talks with leading Australian artists, participants will explore how contemporary artists are reimagining materials like painting, drawing, and textiles alongside emerging tools, digital processes, and artificial intelligence. Learn how to bring these approaches into your teaching to inspire student voice, innovation and deeper engagement with visual culture.

Aligned with the Australian Curriculum, New/Now supports both personal and professional growth, giving teachers fresh confidence to deliver relevant, future-focused learning.

Make art. Learn what’s new. Teach what’s now.
