East Central Update - April 2016

East Central Region Update
from Amy Eibel, Regional Director

           2016 is off to a great start in the East Central region, and we have a number of great opportunities coming up over the summer for our members. 

In February, we met with the Northeast Region in conjunction with Zero Landfill Akron, and had a great time developing new lesson ideas at the Akron Art Museum! Special thanks is in order to Dillon Sedar (our new PR Chair), Sarah Shumaker, Bianca Burwell and Laura Tawil for their leadership in organizing this awesome event. If you are interested in hosting a regional workshop, please contact Amy Eibel or Sarah Shumaker at eastcentralrd@oaea.com. Our goal is to hold events at different locations throughout our region!

In June and July, we will be hosting an East Central Youth Art Exhibition at Malone University. Save some of your student artwork for this show, and spread the word to your colleagues! More info will be emailed soon, shared on FB, and posted on the EC blog.

Do you know have an art ed colleague who could benefit from our workshops and events? Please invite them to join us, and encourage membership in your part of our region! 


Want the latest and greatest news, photos and information from our East Central Region?
