The Journal of Cultural Research in Art Education invites submissions that investigate a wide range of topics related to art education’s potential in our shifting global cultural landscapes. Submissions should align with jCRAE’s focus on intersections of cultural studies and art education, working across disciplinary lines and diverse perspectives on what it means to engage with the world today. 


The Journal of Cultural Research in Art Education (jCRAE) is an annual publication of the United States Society for Education through Art. jCRAE is focused on social/cultural research relevant for art and visual culture education, including global cultural foundations of art education, cross-cultural and multicultural research in art education, and interdisciplinary intersections with art and culture in education. These areas should be interpreted in a broad sense and can include community arts organizations, schools, public pedagogies, arts administration, art therapy, and other disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches that are relevant to art and visual culture education. Theoretical and artistic research, in which qualitative and/or quantitative methods, as well as other formats and methodological experimentation will be considered for publication.
