Evening for Educators
 One of the longest-running programs of the StateWide Art Partnership (SWAP) is the Evening for Educators series. These events are held on average once a month during the academic year, at locations across the state of Utah. Each Evening for Educators features a keynote speaker and hands-on workshops designed to help teachers integrate the night’s theme into their curriculum. A packet of lesson plans is made available for a donation of $5 with images included. Teachers may receive inservice credit for attending these events.
