What is KyAEA?

The Kentucky Art Education Association (KyAEA) was established in March 1945. It is proud to be the nation's third oldest art education organization. The KyAEA is a nonprofit, all volunteer non-salary Art organization with its own constitution and elected board of directors. Its members are comprised of active and retired P-12 teachers, Art Advocates, and Higher Ed Art Students and Educators statewide. Each fall, KyAEA members have gathered to participate in a major two-day convention for sharing and professional development; smaller regional professional development meetings are presented throughout the school year. Also, the KyAEA sponsors special shows for students within the state to compete and exhibit artwork, provides an ongoing mini-grant opportunity for its members, and strongly supports it student chapter members. The mission of the Kentucky Art Education Association (KyAEA) is to advance art education through professional development, service, advancement of knowledge, and leadership.
