Hello out there!!

Our area covers from San Angelo to El Paso, and Terlingua to Andrews – hundreds of square miles of land dotted with little pockets of thriving art communities and our schools are connected by one event – VASE!

As always, VASE is the biggest news in our area.

Laree Morris is Region 18’s VASE director and in February 2008, she brought Region 15’s San Angelo on board for their first VASE. They participated with us in February 2008, but will be kicking off their own event in February 2009! We are so excited for them!

On the farthest west corner of the great state of Texas, Region 19 will hold their high school VASE on February 21, 2009, at Montwood High School in El Paso and the junior high VASE will be held on May 3, 2009 at Ensor Middle School also in El Paso.

We look forward to seeing everyone at conference next month, and at the state event in April 2009.

The Gold Seal Show was in Odessa in October of 2007. What a treat for all of us to have such an amazing collection of artwork here. And Region 18 is still in ‘MOJO Mania Mode’ since Permian High School’s Laree Morris was chosen as the 2007 High School Division Outstanding Art Educator. Way to go Laree!!

Please add your info and dates to the Area 1 blog by emailing Deb Wheeler and it’ll get posted ASAP!! Send pictures too!!!
