Awarding Excellence: An AEI Tradition

Established as a professional organization in 1950, Art Educators of Iowa soon began recognizing those of its members who stood out as exemplars in the field.

Awards are given each year to selected members of the Iowa arts education community that have shown stellar dedication to the craft of teaching art to children. The immediate Past President acts as the Awards Chair with previous winners as the committeed.

Drawn from the history of AEI, compiled by Liz Craw, and from back copies of the organization newsletter, The Message, we have compiled lists of past winners. Awards have been given in the following categories, where you will also find more information about the current winners:
