NC General Assembly Youth Art Exhibit
The North Carolina General Assembly Youth Art Exhibit is cosponsored by the NC Art Education Association and North Carolina General Assembly. The purpose of the exhibit is to share with our legislators and the public the exceptional creative ability of North Carolina’s students. The 2008 NC General Assembly Youth Art Exhibit was second year of this exhibition and we hope to make it a long tradition to advocate for art in our schools. On May 19, 2008, students, their families, and their art teacher were honored during a reception at the NC General Assembly. Many NC Representatives and Senators were in attendance. Congratulations to the following students and art teachers who are part of this year’s exhibit:

Your Opinion Counts
The North Carolina Art Education Association is conducting a survey of ALL of the North Carolina visual arts educators to learn more about what you think we do well, what we could do better, and what you would like to see in this state professional organization. We would appreciate you taking a few minutes to complete the survey. We are a professional, non-profit, membership organization. Your opinion counts! The survey will be open until May 1st. At that time the NCAEA Executive Board will collate and evaluate the answers.  We value your time, so the survey is designed to only ask you pertinent questions. The most anyone will answer will be 25 questions. Please be candid in your answers.   Scroll down, a link to the survey is at the bottom of the Links menu on the right.
