What I Love About TAEA: I love being a part of the TAEA family. No place else can I find such a positive, supportive group of creatives who never fail to inspire me, and who all share a mission: tirelessly sharing and advocating for Visual Arts across our state, and faithfully inspiring the creative potential of our next generation.

Hello! I am Sandra Newton. Thank you for allowing me to serve as your Region 7 Representative. I am currently the Director of Visual and Performing Arts for Tyler ISD. I am excited to be home! I recently moved back to Tyler after teaching all levels of Visual Art in the Houston area. However, my Visual Art education career started in Jacksonville, Texas.

Some of the goals of have set as your Regional Representative are:

  • I am always looking for more ways to reach out to Visual Art educators who may not be association members, so that they and their students can take advantage of the many programs offered to promote growth in art education practices, and support for Visual Art educators.
  • I am also committed to supporting our TAEA members in Region 7 regarding participation in TAEA programs, such as Youth Art Month (YAM), VASE/TEAM events, and the annual Fall Conference.
  • I am working with area Universities to put together professional development opportunities for the Region 7 area. (More updates to come soon.)
  • I am always interested in hearing your ideas.

East Texas is a wonderful and special place and I am so excited to be home! Thank you so much for allowing me to serve as your Region 7 Representative. Please send me ideas for what you would like to see offered in our region. I will post upcoming events and information for you as it becomes available.

Thank you again,

Sandra Newton
