Member Services
NCAEA recognizes leaders among its members with its Awards Program. If you know of an art educator or Friend of the Arts, please take time to nominate them. Because we are unified with NAEA, many of our state award recipients are nominated for national awards.
Our organization believes in quality professional development. Each year, we hold an art auction at our conference. The proceeds provide scholarships for members to attend workshops or take courses to improve their artistic knowledge and skills.
In addition, we conduct an annual fall professional development state conference and spring regional workshops. Members, who are leaders, run workshops and presentations. The myriad of offerings gives members a chance to customize their professional development to meet their individual needs. Many of our members are artists in their own right, so each year we host a Members Exhibit and Suitcase Sale at our conference.
Nominate an outstanding art educator and friend of the arts to recognize their commitment and contributions to the visual arts in North Carolina. Friends of the arts awards will be recognized in two categories and do not have to be members of NCAEA/NAEA. All other award nominees must be current members of NCAEA/NAEA to be eligible.
To nominate someone, please include the following in the award nomination online form
□ The nomination form
□ Letter of nomination (1 page) from the nominator (must be an NCAEA member)
□ The nominee’s information including a list of accomplishments demonstrating how the nominee meets the award criteria
□ Additional data and/or supporting documentation (optional)
DEADLINE for nominations is JULY 1, 2013 to be awarded at the Professional Development Conference in Raleigh, NC.
