| Dear IAEA members, I am pleased to announce that the 2010 Idaho Art Education conference will take place in Garden City (Boise) Idaho, at the Garden City Community School on 9165 Chinden Boulevard. This location has been graciously offered by Principal Cindy Hoovel. The Garden City Community School is an arts based elementary school and is located in a somewhat untraditional building of a former shopping mall. I want to send out a special thanks to Cindy Hoovel, Jennifer Williams and Cathy Mansell for all their help with the relocation of this conference in this crazy year for art teachers. Boise teachers have really come through to help make this conference possible. The IAEA board is very grateful to you all. We have obtained a special room rate of $70 for our participants at the Doubletree Hotel Boise Riverside. Be sure to mention that you are an IAEA member to qualify. We will also have a reception for our participants on Thursday Oct 7th from 7 - 8:30 PM at the Doubletree Hotel. At this time you can meet our wonderful keynote speaker, Nancy Walkup editor of School Arts Magazine. I hope that you will also use this time to let us know how the arts are fairing in your school districts. I have also received some names of members who have volunteered to provide home hospitality to participants attending the conference. Please contact me if you are in need of this and I will contact the members who have offered this. First Thursday events are scheduled on the 7th at the Boise Art Museum and the Basque Museum and cultural Center. BAM is featuring an artist lecture at 5:30 - 6:30 with sculptor Steven Knapp. Mr. Knapp is installing a new outdoor sculpture that uses colored lights and plexi-glass. BAM also has a drop in art event from 5-8 PM. These events are free. Silent auction item donations are still in need. Please consider making a contribution of your art to support IAEA. Please consider serving on the IAEA board. The treasurer and vice president positions are open for nominations this year. We look forward to seeing you at the 2010 conference! Sincerely, Karen Fothergill, IAEA President Jackie Nelson, Keith Farnsworth, Estuardo Hiram-Miranda, Robin Gray IAEA Board of Directors |
