All Division Awards Ceremony

Join us to celebrate this year’s award-winning art educators from all NAEA divisions and regions. Olivia Gude—artist, educator, and professor emerita at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago—will open the ceremony. Widely recognized for her groundbreaking contributions to art education and community-based public art, Gude reimagines the field through social justice, participatory practices, and innovative curriculum development. Her work, including the Spiral Workshop, has earned numerous national awards and prestigious commissions from organizations such as the NEA and NAEA. This inspiring event honors leadership, innovation, and excellence while encouraging us to proudly recognize and nominate peers for future awards.
