The Gallery at Center for Creative Education presents a Palm Beach County Art Teacher’s Association Fine Art Exhibition Sponsored by Whole Foods Market.  The exhibit is available through August 12th and is free and open for the public to enjoy.  The PBCATA gives scholarships to 2 graduating seniors who are continuing their education in the arts.  These professionals support each other as colleagues in education as well as practicing artists. Many of our current and past board members are in positions to support art educators at the state (FAEA and FAAE) and national (NAEA) levels. Dr. Nicole Crane, the current Treasurer is also the current President of FAEA.  Kudos to all of these teachers and artists!  The Rickie Report shares the details and some sneak peeks.

Along with raising money for the scholarships, PBCATA also sponsors ribbons annually for the South Florida Fair and the Palm Beach County School District Annual K-12 Student Art Shows.  We support each other as colleagues in education as well as practicing artists. It is the mission of the Palm Beach County Art Teachers Association to support art education and to promote art as a means of communication for each individual. It is the right of each individual to develop his own creativity and aesthetic potential. It is our purpose to strengthen the position of art education in Palm Beach County. We support programs in art which meet the needs, interests and abilities of each individual student. We will promote and maintain the highest quality of art education in Palm Beach County.

One of our favorite workshop/gatherings is Raku Under a Blue Moon. Many of our current and past board members are in positions to support art educators at the state (FAEA and FAAE) and national (NAEA) levels. Dr. Nicole Crane, our current Treasurer is also the current President of FAEA.
