Cape Cod and Islands Art Educators Association

The CAPE AND ISLANDS ART EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION (CCIAEA) was founded in 2003 as a collaborative effort between prospective, current and retired art educators and their supporters. Led by a volunteer advisory committee representing the diversity of our community, the association represents a cross-section of the visual art education community on the Cape and Islands.

Our Mission is to foster and advocate for creative, academic and social regional visual art education programs that provide opportunities for educators and students while strengthening liaisons within the community.

We are devoted to the nurturing and support of the goals and aspirations of art educators in the Cape and Islands region. We believe that sharing work and life experience actively encourages the social, intellectual and creative growth that enhances our classroom performance and enriches the content we provide our students. 

We are devoted to finding avenues of ongoing educational opportunities for ourselves and our community. We also believe that as a collective group we can speak with a clear and weighty voice to those issues directly impacting the access to and quality of art education across the region.
