Plunge is an annual, summer conference dedicated to K-12 arts integration.

Designed for New Mexico classroom teachers and arts specialists, Plunge offers professional learning in the arts to harness student and teacher creativity, bolster student engagement, and affirm student identity.

In 2020, we are bringing together artists, educators and innovators to share ideas, best practices and personal stories that, as Nina Simone urges, "reflect the times." See conference schedule for more information.
