WCFA is seeking original works for our upcoming Rhode Island Art Educator’s Showcase, an exhibition featuring artwork from those individuals who teach art to others. Art teachers have the unique gift of merging the intricacies of mathematics, the lyricism of language, and the legacies of history in the form of visual communication. This show is intended to celebrate these educators. This show is open to all art educators in RI, including PreK-12, college/university, and adult art education.
