September 2025
We need you! Please send us a digital copy of 1 (one) of your student's fabulous artwork to be considered to represent your region in the 2026
All work submitted should be created by K-12 students of NCAEA members. Artwork can be 2D or a high resolution photo of 3-D work.
Each region should be well represented, as the artwork does not need to be shipped or carried anywhere. We do ask for a high quality photograph, JPG, to best represent the artwork.
The deadline for sending your amazing student's artwork is SEPTEMBER 15, 2025.
We will be voting on the General Assembly Show artwork from the entries. Two pieces from each region will be chosen to represent your region. ONLY these two pieces will be brought to Asheboro in October to hang in the show's premiere at our annual NCAEA Conference.
The General Assembly show is hung on a wall in the North entrance to the Legislative building, however we can display a high quality print of any 3-D entries. *this goes for any 2-D work that is greater than 16 x 20 matted, as this is the size of our frames for the show. If the artwork is smaller than 16 x 20, please mat it or have it backed with black paper (cut to fit the 16x20 frame).
Make sure to include SIGNED copies of both forms below:

Region 4 PD Review:
A Successful Professional Development Day Hosted by UNC-Pembroke and NCAEA Region 4
On behalf of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke (UNCP) and the North Carolina Art Education Association (NCAEA) Region 4, we were excited to have another successful in-person professional day held on February 28th, 2025. It was hosted at UNCP. It was a full day from 8:30 am – 3:00 pm of speakers, workshops, and socializing amongst Region 4 art educators. In all, we had 69 attendees across all the counties of Region 4, including NCAEA members, nonmembers, and 8 high schoolers.
Our day began with a meet and greet that led into a whole group with keynote speakers from the Cameron Art Museum. They addressed building community through building a collection at an art museum or exhibit. Then, we had another speaker discuss passport to learning with ideas through cultural exchanges, adaptability, and diverse teaching environments. Afterward, all participants broke up into different sessions. They were able to attend two sessions. Sessions were taught by UNCP faculty, grad students from UNCP, and art teachers of Region 4. These sessions were hands-on workshops of different media. Sessions included Palette Knife Painting, Monochromatic Art Assemblage, Quilling, Toilet Paper Sculptures, Sight Size: The Art of Sight, Walk a Mile: Shoe Construction, Hand-Built Clay, 4 Style Self Portraits, Watercolor and Salt, Casting with Hot Glue, Introduction to Journal/Book Making, Edible Color Wheel, Abstract of Mind, Funko Pop Me Relief, and Introduction to Gourd Painting.
NCAEA’s Region 4 has been collaborating with UNCP for the past years when providing a professional development day to our art educators. It is a great way to recruit new members and see old members that we only see once a year. We look forward to continue working alongside UNCP to provide these opportunities.
