Your students deserve recognition!
The purpose of this award is to acknowledge graduating seniors who have demonstrated a high level of artistic, academic, leadership, and interpersonal relationship skills and to encourage students to pursue a career in visual arts education. Art instructors who are AEM members have the opportunity to advocate for art education by nominating their art students. These nominations are based upon the instructors opinions that the students have what it takes to potentially be qualified visual art instructors. High school art instructors are invited to nominate as many as three outstanding juniors who will be seniors in the 2020-2021 school year.
Nominations can be submitted starting NOW and up until September 16th. Submit nominations to: youthartmonth@gmail.com
Student Spotlight Applications are due by September 30th (same email address)
