Hello to all the members and friends of the New Mexico Art Education
Association. I am happy to announce the time and location for the fall
workshop conference for art educators in New Mexico. The 2008
conference will be in the foothills of the beautiful Sangre de Cristo
Mountains at the Glorieta Conference Center, November 7 and 8,
2008. Workshops will take place Friday from 1:00 to 5:00 and
Saturday from 9:00 to 5:00. The conference grounds are located 20 miles
east of Santa Fe. A link to reservation information will be coming
soon. So, mark your calendar, think about presenting. We had several
people team up to give workshops last year. We know there are many
talented people in this organization. |

| Why
attend the art education conference? What do and you stand to gain from
presenting at a unique conference such as ours? Why become a
member of the New Mexico Art Education Association? |
||
| First,
it is a lot of fun. Catch up with old friends from the other side of
the state, meet new educators, enjoy learning a new media or technique. |
||
| Second,
the workshops offered are fantastic. They provide a variety of topics
that pertain to many grade levels and classroom situations. Our
presenters come from varied backgrounds, k-12 teachers, instructors and
professors at the college and university level, museum educators from
around the state. Third, the conference provides quality professional development to our members. The conference is a wonderful opportunity for art educators from around the state to gather to spend time actively engaged in new ideas about art education. The workshops help them positively affect the quality of student learning back in their own communities. |

Starting this year however, members will save $50.00 on the cost of registration, and will be eligible to apply for a classroom/worksite grant funded by the NMAEA . The grants will be for $500.00 and $1,000.00. Information regarding the one-page grant application will be posted to the web site. So if you have not joined already, consider doing so this year. Join the National Art Education Association and you also become a member of the New Mexico chapter, dues are $70.00. Join us, and keep arts alive in New Mexico. |
