 Welcome to the Kentucky Art Education Association (KAEA)
Welcome to the Kentucky Art Education Association's (KAEA) home and outreach on the web. The KAEA is a nonprofit art education association that was established in March 1945 and is an affiliate of the National Art Education Association (NAEA). Our goal is to provide practical material and instructional resources for the field of art education and the humanities. We hope each of you will bookmark and use this site often as a major classroom resource for art education and as a helpful research guide for your informational and creative endeavors.
We express our gratitude for the continual efforts, submissions and suggestions of our supporters, without whom this site would not be possible. Now as we look to the future in our attempts for better communication and networking, please feel free to contact us anytime; everyone will find address links to names within the KAEA Board Section. Each school year, we are providing and offer everyone with our KAEA informational/newsletter emails (please help to keep addresses current and/or drop an email if you would like to be included--emailings are suspended during summer months).
Also, we are always seeking useful information to share and assist in the teaching of Visual Arts and Humanities, and volunteers whose talents and/or support benefit everyone in our promotion of the Arts. Please contact us with your thoughts, ideas, sharings, and suggestions. We look forward to the future with even greater possiblities and potentials.
--Lisa Jameson, KAEA President

Federal: Help Ensure the Arts Are Strengthened in No Child Left Behind:
Your help is needed to ensure a place for the arts in every child's education.
The Commission on No Child Left Behind is a bipartisan, independent effort dedicated to improving the No Child Left Behind Act. It has spent the last year traveling across the country, listening to the experiences of students, educators, parents, administrators, state and district officials, experts and policymakers in order to develop this report which outlines specific and actionable recommendations for establishing a high-achieving education system.
