Art Power!
The 2009 Oregon Art Education Association Fall Conference
Our keynote speaker is Christopher Shotola-Hardt, the OAEA Oregon Art Educator of the Year for 2008.
The dates for the conference will be Friday and Saturday October 9th and 10th. Our location this year is the International School of the Cascades in Redmond Oregon. We chose a central Oregon location due to high request from last year's conference.
We are currently looking for vendors and presenters.
We are planning one and two hour sessions for Friday and longer, all day workshops for Saturday. Please note that there are two different forms this year because of this, the first is the normal form for a one or two hour session on Friday, the second is for the all day workshops on Saturday. The one and two hour sessions will as always be a donation of your time. For the Saturday workshops you can set a price per person to cover your time and material costs that we will collect as an extra fee.

***************************************************************************
The 2008 Fall Conference, Imagine, was a great success. We all had a fun time at the coast and came away inspired.
We would like to thank everyone who participated and helped to make this year’s conference a great one. We especially want to thank our wonderful keynote speaker Nick Bantock, for inspiring us as artists as well as teachers. We also want to thank the Siuslaw High School and the Siuslaw school district for their generous use of facilities as well as all their help to make everything dun smoothly. We wish to thank all of our vendors, Davis Publications, Georgies, Blick Art Materials, Sax, Nasco, Scholastic, the Pacific Northwest College of Art, Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and Youth Art Month. We also thank all of our presenters for their wonderful sessions. And we thank all of the organizations that donated door prizes, materials and other freebies; Skutt Kilns, Art Media, C2F, Utrecht, Sakura of America, Art Image Publications Inc., Crystal Productions, Binney & Smith Crayola, Dixon-Ticonderoga-Prang, the National Gallery of Art, the California Art Education Association, NAEA- Reston, Siuslaw River Coffee Roasters, Sweet Creek Creations, Mon Ami and the US Bead Warehouse in Florence.
We hope that everyone who was able to come had a wonderful time. We had a few new things this year that seemed to work well. The first big change was a move from a one-day format to a two-day format. We think that went well and will look at it again for next year, providing we can get enough quality presenters to fill the two-day schedule. We also had registration online, which went pretty well for a first year trial with new technology. We had always done it by hand in the past. So this was a lot easier for us and hopefully for you too. We know there were a few glitches and we hope to have them ironed out for next year.
We had our first ever Awards Breakfast to honor excellence in teaching in the arts in the state of Oregon. This went well too with a wonderful presentation on each of the awardees by our own Shannon McBride. Thank you Shannon, for arranging this positive and inspiring event recognizing our colleagues. If you missed attending this event this year, please plan on coming next year.
This year’s awardees are:
Christopher Lamp - OAEA Elementary Art Educator of the Year
Penny Rosterolla - OAEA Middle Level Art Educator of the Year
Susan Shayegi - OAEA Secondary Art Educator of the Year
Mark Andres - OAEA Higher Education Art Educator of the Year
Patrick Johnson - OAEA Distinguished Service Outside of the Profession
Tricia Barry - OAEA Rookie of the Year
Christopher Shotola-Hardt - OAEA Oregon Art Educator of the Year
Congratulations to all our award winners!
