We are excited to announce the details for the Sixth Annual Student Art Contest sponsored by WEA member Benefits and the WEA Member Benefits Foundation.

This year's theme is Be You. Building people up through artistic expression.

Attached is a flyer you can share with other art teachers, public educators, school guidance counselors, psychologists, and social workers who may work with students who many benefit from the therapeutic process of creating art.

The general information about the contest is included on the flyer and more details can be found online at weabenefits.com/studentartcontest.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email the WEA  Art Contest Contact at artcontest@weafoundation.org

Greetings Art Teachers,
​
It is with great pleasure that I share with you the 2021 Youth Art Month Regional Shows. Click on the link below, and then click on your region in the navigation to see the work. You will notice that the artworks that have the yellow badges next to them are the state exhibit qualifiers. The State Exhibit has been updated and is posted below! Students who win state awards have been identified in the virtual state show. A prize package will be directly sent to their homes. If you did not provide their full address, their prize package will be sent to your school. 
​
This year, all certificates (state and regional) will be digital. Links to the printable certificates are located below. A beautiful Youth Art Month Proclamation letter from the Governor of Wisconsin, Tony Evers will be mailed to each of your students. 

I want to thank each of our Regional Vice Presidents: Andrea Worthey, Mandy Zdrale, Quenton Brown, Jill Fortin and Sarah Fredrickson for spending numerous hours uploading the artwork for their regional shows and a HUGE thank you to Sarah Fredrickson for putting it all together. I also wish to thank Dani Graf, WAEA Treasurer for helping behind the scenes with making phone calls for donations, etc and to the WAEA President, Devon Calvert for providing encouragement throughout this crazy time. 

Thank you ALL for participating in this event!

Please share this link.....everywhere!
