| The Vermont Art Teachers Association (VATA) is a statewide organization whose mission is to support, promote and advocate for the profession and teaching of the visual arts. Anyone engaged in art education or who is interested in the benefits of art education for students is welcome to become a member. VATA is an affiliate of the National Art Educators Association (NAEA). That means that those wishing to join VATA do so through the NAEA.
The organization focuses on two main events each year. VATA promotes
the celebration of Youth Art Month in March with a statewide exhibit
of student work, and in the fall VATA puts on an art
conference in conjunction with the annual statewide teachers
convention to provide teachers with the opportunity for inservice
learning and networking. |
