We are pleased to share exciting updates about the upcoming annual Members Art Show hosted by the Texas Art Education Association (TAEA). This year, the show has been thoughtfully re-envisioned to better highlight and celebrate the exceptional artwork created by our members. Streamlined Categories In response to member feedback, we have simplified the entry categories to make the submission process more intuitive. Previously, some participants found it challenging to determine the most appropriate category for their work. To address this, we have refined the categories into three clear divisions: •Photography/Digital • 2D • 3D This streamlined structure ensures a more straightforward experience for entrants while maintaining the diversity and richness of artistic expression within our community. With the consolidation of categories, we are also pleased to announce an increase in prize money. Best of Show and first-, second-, and third-place winners in each category will receive enhanced awards, further recognizing the outstanding talent and dedication of our members. New Incentive to Enter In addition to expanded awards, we are introducing a new incentive for participation. Each teacher who submits artwork will receive one additional entry into the conference giveaway drawings. Please note that this incentive applies per teacher, not per artwork submission. With the incredible prizes generously provided by our valued vendors and sponsors, this added opportunity offers even more reason to participate. Introducing the Winners Circle Show This year also marks the debut of our Winners Circle Show. While the exhibition will continue to be featured online and displayed digitally during the conference, we will now also host a physical showcase highlighting the top winners in each category. To make participation as convenient as possible, teachers will not need to transport their original artwork. Printed reproductions will be created for display in the physical exhibition. Exciting Members Art Show Changes for 2026!
