MAEA Watch Party Discussions
The MAEA Watch Party Discussion Series are ten companion discussions to the monthly NAEA webinars, facilitated by MAEA leaders, members, and selected guests who bring their unique experiences to each month’s topic. Watching the NAEA webinars is not a prerequisite, however doing so will enhance attendees’ general knowledge of the topic. For the 2021 – 2022 Watch Party series, MAEA facilitators will engage participants in open conversation, share helpful resources, and promote a supportive space for all to join in. These discussions will relate back to the theme of the NAEA webinars, but will include stand alone content so that they are not exactly the same. For more details about our discussions please visit MAEA Watch Party Professional Development Series | 2021-22

Consensus.org curriculum
Consensus is an artistic game of “Telephone” that provides participants the option to respond to a work of art using any arts medium to help better understand the work around us. This collaborative project was developed by Sally Taylor.
Inspired by Sally Taylor’s global creative initiative—The Consenses Curriculum is a beautifully crafted, unique, multidisciplinary approach to building social-emotional skills through the arts. Participants engage in a structured collaborative process of creating “Interpretive Chains,” using a range of media to engage all five senses as they build understanding and appreciation for the value of diverse perspectives and the equality of all voices.
