Welcome to OATK12!

The Online Art Teachers (K-12) Facebook Group was formed on March 11, 2020 as a service project BY art teachers FOR art teachers during the uncertain times of COVID19 pandemic teaching. A dedicated team of state, national, and international art education leaders formed during emergency circumstances to guide and lead OATK12 and to ensure that art educators across the United States and world feel supported and connected during pandemic teaching. With 20,100+ members and over two million interactions, this world-wide collaboration of art educators is providing a much needed resource for teachers. OATK12 also hosts this website, virtual summer conferences, a Google Folder of resources, blog, a speakers' bureau, and other special events. OATK12 Is a true service project, with no monetary transactions. We are art teachers working collaboratively with other art teachers for the good and survival of art education during these pandemic times.
