| Spring
greetings to all the friends and members of the New Mexico Art
Education Association. Hang onto your hats, I have a feeling that all
of us might be blown away by the good things to come in the NMAEA ! |
||
| The
new executive board and I are happy to be working with the
organization. With improved communication it is hoped that we can
continue to better serve our members needs. I encourage all of you to
contact myself, or any of the executive board members, tell them your
ideas and concerns about the direction our growing organization is
going. |
||
| Participate, post work to our new
website, announce regional events, let us know what kinds of
presentations you would like to see at our upcoming conference, become
a presenter yourself. |

Recently I received an email from one of our members, Sara Otto-Diniz.
As an art educator working with the University of New Mexico Art
Museum, Sara suggested that upcoming exhibitions might be of
particular interest to art educators around the state. Sara also told me
about the student chapter of NAEA located on the UNM campus and
it’s willingness to become more involved with the state
organization. With this information Sara and I entered into a
conversation with other UNM staff about the possibility of the
university being the host site for the fall conference. After many
emails and much conversation we all agreed that this would be a
wonderful opportunity for art educators around the state. It is with
great pleasure that I announce the location of the fall conference. |

thanks to the UNM Department of Educational Specialties, UNM Art
Education Program, and UNM College of Education, and the UNM Art
Museum. Events and workshops will take place at various locations
around the campus from 1:00 on Friday the 9th, through Saturday the
10th. I know a large part of our membership will be traveling on
Sunday, so a brief Executive board meeting will take place at the hotel. |

| Members and participants can make arrangements for accommodations at the Plaza Inn Albuquerque , http://plazainnabq.com/,
1-800-237-1307. The hotel has given us an excellent rate for those
needing rooms for Friday and Saturday nights, $62.00. Up to four people
can be placed in a room, or you may request a single. Reservations will
be on your own this year, but be sure to send us your NMAEA
Registration Form 2007. The forms and fees for the conference will be
posted in May. We have worked hard to make the conference affordable to
all by keeping costs down. At this time I would like to make a call for presenters for the fall conference. Please give this some thought. We need your ideas and presence to make this conference a great one. |
