GOLDEN Educators Residency
The application deadline for the GOLDEN Educators Residency is April 15, 2018. Please help spread the word!

Educators with students who have gotten  any level of recognition in the 2018 Awards are invited to apply. Three educators will be selected to participate in an all-expenses-paid, 2-week long painting residency this summer.

Residents will have an unparalleled opportunity to work with dozens of unique materials to develop their own painting practice, made available through the  Sam & Adele Golden Foundation .

Affiliate Leadership Conference RSVP
The Affiliate Leadership Conference will take place on Wednesday, June 6, 2018, at our offices at 557 Broadway in New York City. This is an opportunity to meet other Affiliates, help plan for next year, and share best practices. This year we have scheduled more breakout sessions for engaging conversations!

Affiliate Partners are also invited to the National Ceremony at Carnegie Hall.  This year, we have invited more Gold Medalists and their educators to Carnegie Hall than ever before, therefore space is very limited.  We cannot reserve tickets for guests of Affiliates at this time.
