Thank you to all that attended our annual conference in Sun Valley this past October. We felt
that it was a huge success and we would like to show our appreciation for the positive feedback
from our members. The opportunity to share parts of our conference with the Council for
Exceptional Children (CEC) provided a unique opportunity to explore the issue of teaching art
to children with disabilities, as well as celebrate the upcoming World Special Olympic Games
coming to Idaho this winter. We hope that members attending the conference had time to view
the student artwork on display in the conference hallways. Note cards made with this artwork
are now available and may be purchased from us directly. Please check the website for more
information. The board would like to thank all the presenters at the conference and also
encourage art educators to apply for presentation for next year’s conference, as well.
Our 2009 Idaho Art Education Association annual conference will be held at Wood River
Middle School in Hailey, Idaho, on Thursday and Friday, Oct 1st and 2nd. The new theme is
“Art is Essential”. The board felt that it is important to continue to educate the public about the
importance of art instruction in education, even in these difficult times for our schools and our
country. Accommodations will be available at the Wood River Inn and the AmericInn, both
within walking distance to the Wood River Middle School. We are busy planning next year’s
conference, updating the website, and are in the process of editing the IAEA bylaws to present
to our members for approval in the fall, as well. Members interested in seeking a position on
the board for President Elect or Secretary please communicate your desires to any current
board member for nomination at the conference. Thanks for your support.
Sincerely, the IAEA Board
