We’re back to spotlight more amazing NAEA Interest Groups—where art educators can connect, collaborate, and inspire!
Today we are highlighting the Committee on Multiethnic Concerns (COMC)—Established 1971.
COMC’s Purpose: To promote, strengthen, and encourage the role of visual arts education while fostering respect for and a greater understanding of cultural diversity within our society.
NAEA Interest Groups offer members a key opportunity to connect with other members who share an interest in a specific issue or topic in art education. Interest Groups share ideas, bring areas of concern to NAEA’s attention, and hold events at the NAEA National Convention.
Visit the NAEA website for more information for each Interest Group: arteducators.org/community/interest-groups
