Cape Cod & Islands Art Educators Association
This organization is the only one of its kind on Cape Cod for art educators to network with other art teachers, meet professional artists, learn about new teaching materials and techniques, and acquire Professional Development Points. The Cape Cod & Islands Art Educators Association meets the third Thursday of each month during the school year at Cape Cod Museum of Art. The programs run from 4 pm to 6 pm. Each year's schedule includes special workshops tied in with current CCMA exhibitions, "Best Practices," and other presentations organized by the Art Educators' Advisory Council.
Membership is open to all art educators, past and present, and those interested in various aspects of art education. Membership fee is $25.
Portfolio Day - October 18, 2008
11:30 am - 2:30 pm
CCMA and the Art Educators Association, will host the fifth annual Portfolio Day for high school students who wish to apply to attend art schools.
Representatives from 18 art colleges and universities of eight states will set up displays in the museum’s galleries to meet with Cape Cod students to discuss the merits of their art portfolios. This event enables local students easier access to these school representatives, avoiding the crowds at National Portfolio Day reviews in Boston. It also provides valuable, constructive criticism for students and art teachers so they understand what is needed for a well-rounded portfolio.
Portfolio Day is made possible by a grant from the Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank Charitable Foundation.
