WAEA Board Members Meet in Wausau

The first weekend in May was a busy one for new and outgoing WAEA Board members as they convened in Wausau, WI to celebrate the past year and to prepare for 2018-19 school year.  There were many fabulous accomplishments saluted during the weekend including the wonderful Youth Art Month festivities held throughout the state, the cool regional professional development being offered and much more.  Members of the board also had the opportunity to create art during their tour of the Leigh Yawkey Art Center.  They used the fantastic printmaking studio spaces and created beautiful linocut prints. Wausau promises to be an outstanding venue for the fall conference. Congratulations to the new board members.  To see some of the dates planned visit the Calendar page.
