Monthly News from the President's Palette

As we spring forward into April, how will you dedicate your focus in your practice? A spring is an elastic coil packed with potential energy. I hope that your spring break has given you some time to coil and prepare to release cultivated energy into the important work that you do.
Having just returned from the NAEA Convention in Seattle, I was honored to serve as the Florida State Delegate, along with President-Elect Jackie Henson-Dacey. The NAEA CEO, Deborah Reeve, spoke to the Delegates Assembly, reminding us of the powerful artistic symbol on our country’s Great Seal, “
e pluribus unum
—out of one, many.” She spoke about how the arts teach empathy and understanding, and of how the arts do not discriminate. She reminded us of how art is a transformative power, helping us to see beyond bias.
FAEA was awarded the Website Award and the Newsletter Award from NAEA! With many attendees from Florida, we celebrated our educators, Susannah Brown, Barb Davis, and Mabel Morales!
I am pleased to report that we had close to a record number of submissions for the FAEA K-12 Student Art Assessment and Virtual Exhibition! This important membership program assesses the state of our arts programs in Florida, promotes achievements, and awards terrific prizes from Sargent Art.
Begin thinking about infusing your summer with FAEA learning opportunities!
FAEA has partnered with the Sarasota Art Education Association to bring you
Summer Asian Art Workshops at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, June 14-16
. Tour the new Asian Art wing and participate in Ringling Underground, gallery hop, and explore Asian landscape painting, reduction printmaking, Sumi-E, paper lanterns, origami and much more. Registration is only $95 for the three-day event.

The following weekend, FAEA presents the

The retreat, focused on well-being and creativity, guides participants in meditation and relaxation at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, and at the Boca Raton Museum of Art through hands-on projects in printmaking, ikebana, calligraphy, senbazuru, culture talk, and mixed media exploration. This intimately-sized group experience is designed to reconnect you to yourself and each other. Registration is only $75.

With only a few months left in the school year, keep a spring in your step and an optimistic attitude. We are change-makers, dedicated to bringing beauty and understanding into this world through the work that we do each day.
