The New Genre Arctic Art Education website presents visual essays, videos, and exhibition documents that showcases innovative Arctic art education in northern communities. The website provides a platform for sharing open educational materials, as well as inspiration and examples of art and art education in northern and Arctic communities and environments.
The projects presented on the website were initiated by Timo Jokela, Professor Emeritus of Art Education at the University of Lapland and founder of the ASAD network, and carried out under his leadership between 2022 and 2025. The projects have involved collaboration with several Arctic universities, including Nord University (Norway), Umeå University (Sweden), Ilisimatusarfik – University of Greenland, and Memorial University (Canada). The projects have also involved many other local partners, such as the Greenlandic Siunissaq Association. The projects have focused on topics such as sustainability-oriented portraits of communities and land-based learning.
