OUR VISION OF WAEA IN 2017 (Strategic Plan)
The Washington Art Education Association will be a vibrant, active community of individuals who are committed to quality visual arts education at all levels in Washington State. Its members will represent 60% of all eligible art educators throughout the state, who perceive WAEA membership as critical to their success.
WAEA serves its members with opportunities for professional development, resources that provide “best practices” in art education, enhancement of their own skills as artists, mentoring, and networks that connect them with other professionals and resources around the state. All activities are designed to make them more effective and successful in their profession. It offers relevant communications channels for member interaction, access to information, and opportunities for the public to learn the value of quality visual art education. The Association has targeted activities to encourage the development of advanced student art programs, showcase student artists, training for generalist elementary educators, and collaboration with other arts disciplines. The quality of art education in Washington State will be recognized nationally. more on the strategic plan
