Posted on: August 29, 2024 9:00 am
The Ohio Art Education Association was formally established on November 12, 1954, at the Cincinnati Convention. In honor of the 70th anniversary we are celebrating with an “all member” exhibition at the Fitton Center for Creative Arts!
We will be recognizing this year's winners and nominees from our region as well as past awardees who have contributed to our region. We are just over a week away from two amazing Southwest Ohio Art Education Association events! Join us for the 2024 SWOAEA Awards celebration and the "Going Platinum" exhibition opening happening on Friday, September 6th. The exhibition opening will take place from 5:30-7:30 PM with the awards ceremony beginning at 6:30 PM in the Fitton Center for Creative Arts theater.
