WATERVILLE — The annual spring conference of the Maine Art Education Association is set for Friday through Sunday, April 4-6.
This year’s event is organized by Waterville Creates and held in partnership with the Colby College Museum of Art and Colby Arts. It has already attracted record numbers of art educators from across Maine and throughout New England, according to a news release from Chris Melville with Waterville Creates.

The association promotes visual arts education throughout Maine, encouraging best practices in classrooms, supporting professional development for its members, and recognizing and celebrating outstanding educators. Annual conferences provide an opportunity for educators from across the state to meet, develop new skills, share ideas and expand curricular offerings.
Art educators from across Maine and beyond can register for the MAEA conference in Waterville before Tuesday, March 25. The Colby Museum and Colby Arts are sponsoring major scholarships to cover registration fees for Maine teachers.
