​WAEA Mission Statement and Vision Statement

The mission of the Wisconsin Art Education Association is to promote excellence in visual art and design education for all students by:
  • Providing professional growth opportunities for visual art and design teachers.
  • Showcasing student talents and abilities supporting art and design as academic core disciplines.
  • Communicating with other art and design organizations.
  • Offering lifelong learning opportunities acting on vital art and design education issues.

In the decade ahead, we envision:
  •  An organization that lives out the values expressed in our Mission Statement, seeking and valuing contributions from each member 
  • Most art educators in the state of Wisconsin will be WAEA members.
  • Members for whom the art of teaching is the first priority.
  • An organization which is diverse culturally, ethnically and economically.
  • Programs aimed at developing the whole person and promoting creative, intellectual and emotional growth.
  • New partnerships with arts organizations, institutions and businesses.
  • Fiscal resources which keep the organization financially strong.
  •  WAEA will sponsor travel and trips in the United States and abroad.
  • The Visual Arts Classic will become a national model.
