2012 NAEA 65th Annual Conference in NYC made attendance record of 7,000 art educators, over 30 were from New Mexico.

The 2011 NMAEA Fall Conference, "Enrich. create. Integrate. The Art of art Education." was a big hit! Our return to the northern part of the state this year brought many attendees. Thank you for making this year's event such a success! And many thank to our Retired Director Woody Duncan for these wonderful photos of our conference!

Annually in June, we head to Tucumcari for an art teacher retreat at the Mesalands Community College. As the area's largest teaching foundary, we learn hands-on how to run an iron pour! This year, in addition to open-faced sand cast white bronze relief tiles, we also had the luxury of a brand new press and therefore a printmaking frenzy!
