Fall Opportunities and Conference Registration

Hope your school year is off to a good start.  The annual PAEA conference is around the corner- taking place October 16 - 18 in Harrisburg.  Remember that conference goers can again earn Act 48 credit and those of you who are members of PAEA receive a substantially discounted registration price.   Check out details at the newly designed PAEA website.  Also, members may enter student work for the Virtual Student Art Exhibit taking place at this year's conference (deadline to submit works is Monday, October 12th).  Details may be found here.  Note: this is also a chance to have student work featured on PAEA's website which will display work on its new online gallery!  Please be in touch with me if you have any questions or suggestions.

Mark your calendars for Fall Conference Proposals and Nominations for Outstanding Secondary Art Educators

Do you know an outstanding secondary high school art teacher?  You can help to bring their work the recognition it deserves by nominating them for the Outstanding Secondary Art Educator award which will be presented at the Fall PAEA conference.  The deadline has been extended until June 30th for those of you who have now finished up the school year and had a chance to catch your breath!  Details, including forms you'll need to submit, may be found here. Further questions about the awards may be sent to Marcy Bogdanich at paeaawardschair@gmail.com .

Also, you may want to consider presenting at this year's PAEA conference.  The annual conference will take place from October 16 - 18, 2015 in Harrisburg, PA (mark your calendar!).  Sharing an aspect of your practice is a rewarding way to be involved and develop as an art educator.  Deadlines for proposals are also due on June 30th.  Details about the theme of this year's conference and guidelines for presenting may be found here.  General conference information may be found here.
