2013 Iowa All-State Visual Arts Team Announced

On behalf of Art Educators of Iowa and the All-State Visual Art Awards Committee, congratulations and thank you to all nominees and nominating art educators.  We appreciate the time and effort it takes to compile a portfolio and complete the submission process.  Though we provide the opportunity to recognize students for outstanding work, it is the time, nurture, and support that individual teachers give students with potential that is most significant. Please, continue to participate and encourage other teachers in your district, region,  and conference to become participating members.  The more participants involved, the more students we can honor for their outstanding efforts.

The Allstate Committee  are pleased to announce this years top portfolios.

In place of a CD we are creating a Prezi presentation viewable online.

2012 All-State Nomination Forms Available

AEI invites you to take part in the Iowa All-State Art Awards competition.  It has been our honor to recognize Iowa’s best junior and senior visual arts students for 16 years.  This is an opportunity reserved for AEI members. To become a member or to renew your membership, please email Alison Owens the AEI Membership Chair : owensali@gmail.com

This year the judges will select the top 20% to become part of the Individual All-State Art Team. Two years ago, we also implemented the recognition of All-State Art Programs.  These are team awards given to the three top scoring schools, based on their top five individual portfolio scores.  All honorees will be inducted at the All-State Art Award Program at the State Historical Building, Des Moines, on Saturday, May 12th, 2012

It has been an honor to work with this program for over a decade.  Each year, I am amazed at the level of work coming out of our Iowa schools, moved by the introductions teachers give to their students at the awards ceremony and touched by the pride that radiates from each student as their slides are shown and they come forward to accept their award.  It is a testament to the dedication of our visual arts teachers and the strength the arts programs in Iowa.  As the current chair of the All-state Awards Committee, I look forward to honoring a new group of outstanding visual artists.

The deadline for submission: Portfolios must be postmarked by March 16, 2012.  Forms and information can be accessed at the right.

The All-State students will be honored with a reception on Saturday, May 12, 2012 at Grandview University.

Each All-State Student had one piece of artwork on display that afternoon.
