Mini Conferences

This summer, Region 18 is planning a mini conference with 'hands on' projects. So far we have talked about 'Creating Artroom Blogs', 'National Art Honor Society', 'Clay Printing', 'Coffee Painting', 'Found Object Jewelry', and ' "DeMented" Toys' . It' ll be in June or July, and probably in Odessa or Andrews. Please check back before the end of May, we'll be posting more info.

Send Pictures of Your State and Regional Kids


I'll post everything you send!!! Tell me how many and what region, and the name of your school. This is for Regions 15, 18 and 19.

Region 18 Andrews High School


We leave for Houston at 6:30AM on Friday April 17th. Which means we leave Andrews at 4:30AM!!! I hate this part!! We'll be staying at Clear LAke, instead of our beloved Galveston this year. Our very favorite hotel, with the most amazing view(and reasonable prices!!) wasn't opened back up yet. We will be spending all day Sunday at the beach, but our hotel choices were limited since the hurricane. Can't wait to see the place for myself, to see how it is faring 8 months later. There will be 4 students going this year, and one for her THIRD time!!

This event is state wide and approx. 2000 artworks from high schools all over the state will be there. What an opportunity for our students to travel to the event, to have their art exhibited and to see the exceptional art of their peers. Every year my students get back to Andrews excited, inspired and ready to get to work for next year.
