Each year Washington Art Education Association (WAEA) looks to honor outstanding art educators and art supporters in our state. These educators have contributed by educating, advocating for and participating in Visual Art, Media Art, and Design Education in their school, district, region and/or state. Join us at the Seattle Asian Art Museum to celebrate these educators with wine, beverages, refreshments, artmaking facilitated by a SAM teaching artist, and gallery exploration.
The awards ceremony will take place at 6:30 pm.
This event is free to attend! Check-in details will be shared at the check-in table. Kā12 educators, paraeducators, subject area coaches, and administrators are welcome to attend.
Support for K-12 programs during the 2025-2026 school year is provided by the Foster Foundation. Partial, sustained support for SAMās K-12 programs is provided by an endowment established in 1999 by a National Endowment for the Humanities challenge grant and the generous contributions of matching donors, including the Ann P. Wyckoff Education Endowment. The William Randolph Hearst Endowed Fund for Education Programs at the Seattle Art Museum has supported SAM Kā12 programs since 1994.
