Join the Idaho Art Education Association as we reconnect with colleagues and celebrate visual art! IAEA’s fall conference focuses on the ways in which art elevates student voices and builds meaningful connections for learners of all ages and abilities. During this two-day conference, educators will learn how to leverage choice to support creativity in all students, develop studio mindsets by strategically integrating art and content areas, and reenergize lessons with new ideas and art-making techniques.

Just announced! IAEA is excited to welcome author and educator Liz Byron, to our annual fall conference. Liz is the author of Art for All: Planning for Variability in the Visual Art Classroom. She will start the conference with an inspiring keynote presentation about meeting the needs of all students through choice-based curriculum and Universal Design for Learning.

In recognition of her commitment and service to Idaho students and the community, Amber Steele Poelstra, is IAEA’s 2021 Idaho Art Educator of the Year.

Amber was acknowledged as the 2021-2022 Idaho Art Educator of the Year at the National Art Education Association Convention in March.
