The Norway ITAC Hub is led by Seanse Art Center, an organisation committed to helping and enabling children and youth to experience and express themselves through art. Seanse offers artist residencies, seminars, workshops, and conferences. In 2012, Seanse hosted, with international partners, the first International Teaching Artist Conference in Oslo.
SEANSE recently worked alongside ITAC to organise ITAC6, which took place online 29 - 31st August 2022, and in-person in Oslo Sept 1st - 3rd 2022, bringing together Teaching Artists from all over the world.
"Art is important for a number of reasons: to imagine, create and express, to understand oneself and others, to develop self-confidence and connect with others, to prepare for the future, and much more! I believe the cooperation in the Hubs will help enhance the field of art, both in society and not the least arts in education. Big changes may come from small changes; people meet, exchange, create, try out and learn, and the work develops. From the initiative and cooperation between Hubs, global sharing will be possible. Soon there will be more Hubs, and as we develop, the visibility of our work will grow and prosper!"
