Interaction between the physical and digital worlds has become a contemporary challenge and revelation for art education. With metaverse technologies and spaces developing, it is timely to consider how living art education in the metaverse is affecting art education at present and how this may evolve in future. This article will therefore discuss the values, attitudes, challenges, and directions associated with art education in the metaverse. It will connect metaverse experiences with art, new media, and educational cultures to recommend how art education may embrace the metaverse sensitively and flexibly to advance and align the pedagogy, practice, and policy of art education with contemporary and future life. Issues of reluctance, opposition, accessibility, and change will be explored along with metaverse influences on local and global heritage and sustainability to present a current and developing picture of the complexities and opportunities associated with art education in the metaverse.
