 THE EXHIBITION: As part of an ongoing commitment to promote the visual arts. Ellington-White Contemporary Gallery (EWCG) invites current and former Visual Art Education Professionals to submit entries for this national juried exhibition to showcase that the arts as an essential part of a complete education, no matter if it happens in the home, school, or community. You know that students of all ages—from kindergarten to college to creative aging programs—benefit from artistic learning, innovative thinking, and creativity. Celebrating National Arts in Education Week with this national exhibition and events is a way to recognize the impact of visual arts and share the message “that the Arts matter” with friends, family, and communities. During this week, the field of arts education joins together in communities across the country to tell the story of the impact of the transformative power of the arts in education. We celebrate, we advocate, and we bring attention to the cause of art education.

We hope to present an exhibition that demonstrates the continued significance of contemporary art through both conventional and innovative methods and materials. Each selected work will include the artist educational institution or school system.  Selected artists will be encouraged to submit a statement about the importance of arts education.
