Maine Art Education Association exhibit

Teachers who are both MEA and MAEA members may submit one piece of student artwork to celebrate Youth Art Month. The artwork will be framed by the MEA and will hang in the Maine Education Association office in Augusta. The frames are great and the reception is very nice.  Many teachers, MEA employees and other visitors who go to the MEA office really enjoy viewing the student artwork. This is a great way to showcase what we do.
