TAEA Region 1 - Events

Thank you, TAEA Region 1!

We had an amazing time at this year’s Mini-Conference! A special shout-out to our incredible presenters, Ms. Rocio Guerrero (Artistic Jewelry) and Mrs. Maria Miller (Triptychs), for sharing their expertise. Thank you also to Mr. Flores from Davis Publications for the fantastic resource-filled gift bags!

More than anything, thank you to our incredible colleagues. Your dedication to our Valley youth and the creativity you spark in them is unmatched. Remember to take time for yourselves—art is life, but life extends past the studio!

The Bigger Picture: TAEA is solely here to advocate for your programs. As we celebrate events like VASE, Jr. VASE, and TEAM, let's continue to blend competition with community service and family engagement—teaching our students to use their gifts for the benefit of others.

See you at TAEA 2026! Get ready to help us build an incredible Region 1 Student Exhibit & Art Competition!
