What I Love About TAEA: I love that TAEA builds relationships with students and adults, both in and out of the classroom. Making connections with people and community are among the most important aspects of teaching art. TAEA allows me to work with and learn from other visual arts educators across the state in a network that is both encouraging and supportive.

Welcome to the TAEA Visual Arts Administrators of Texas. We are working to provide resources for those that support our visual arts educators and students.

Texas Art Education Outreach


TAEO promotes and offers successful quality art education support to Texas art educators through mentoring and professional development presentations.

  • Do you have teachers who need assistance?
  • Can a mentor help guide a new teacher?
  • Could you use a quality workshop/in-service presentation?

TAEO can help with presenters and mentors.

Let's help each other to prepare, support, and encourage Texas art educators.
