The leading voice in California for Art Education, CAEA.
Art Inspired, Educator Designed.
Welcome!
The California Art Education Association, in conjunction with the National Art Education Association, provides a wide variety of opportunities for members to grow professionally through events such as conferences, networking sessions with fellow educators from all over the state that offer the opportunity for thoughtful dialogue on topics of interest including classroom-, educational-, or art education advocacy-related questions, and online book club discussions. Additionally, CAEA offers student and professional development scholarships, the Youth Art Month program, and much more.
Constitution & Bylaws Ratification Vote Extended to September 15
Cast Your Vote — Extended Deadline!
The 2025 CAEA Constitution & Bylaws ratification period has been extended to September 15, 2025 to ensure every member has time to participate.
This updated version reflects your feedback, aligns with California nonprofit law, and strengthens equity across our statewide community. Key updates clarify elections, officer roles, financial oversight, and how new chapters can operate…so CAEA can better serve all members.
Why vote?
Because art educators deserve a professional organization that is transparent, legally sound, and member-led. Your vote ensures our association reflects those values. (Note: Retired Past Presidents retain voting rights regardless of member status.)
