2026 NCCC AFA Association Conference

The North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) Association will host their 14th annual statewide conference at the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA), February 13-14, 2026.

This year's conference, Convergence: Where Art Meets Pedagogy, brings together educators and administrators in music, theater, visual arts, and art history for two days of insightful sessions, networking opportunities, and a touch of celebratory spirit.

Get ready to connect, collaborate, and cultivate valuable relationships with your fellow NCCC AFA members. With the conference falling just before Valentine's Day, you can expect a theme that hints at connection, partnership, and perhaps even a little heart for our shared mission. This is an unparalleled opportunity to strengthen bonds within our community, share best practices, and build lasting professional relationships.
