The Arts Educator Network serves educators within any arts discipline from Charlotte area schools and colleges, via digital and in-person professional development sessions. This collective of teachers and professors also has the opportunity to take advantage of networking at social events that may include pre-show workshops and discounted show tickets.

Membership is free.
Members must be active arts teachers or professors from Charlotte or the surrounding area schools or colleges.
Members will receive event details and registration via email; events will have a designated capacity and registration will be limited to members only on a first-come, first-served basis.
Blumenthal Arts' Education Department manages membership and may terminate members that do not meet eligibility or criteria. Membership may also be revoked for holding event registration spots and not attending.
