2022 KAEA Conference Recap

KAEA Held our annual fall conference last month at the beautiful Rock Springs Ranch.  We have been coming to Rock Springs for over 40 years, and this last month a record number of you joined us!  We are so glad you chose to spend the weekend with us in nature, learning from fellow artists and meeting friends old and new! The workshops were outstanding, and we want to thank the workshop leaders for sharing their time and talents. We have received the feedback many of you provided. There were many positive comments and great ideas for improving the conference experience. The KAEA Leadership team is always seeking ways to improve the conference and we appreciate your suggestions. See you next Fall in Emporia, KS!

  

Your friend in ART, 

Kathy Schroeder, KAEA President and the KAEA Board Members

Enjoy the 2022 KAEA Member Show and some snapshots from the conference!
