The Scholastic Art Awards of New Hampshire
Administered by The New Hampshire Art Educators’ Association
A Regional Affiliate of the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, Inc.
Mission
The Scholastic Art Awards of New Hampshire Program is a statewide network of art educators, artists, and arts institutions who are members of the New Hampshire Art Educators’ Association (NHAEA) and strive to foster creative expression and artistic achievement in students, grade 7 through 12.
Vision
A moment of positive recognition can inspire a student to pursue a lifetime of creative expression. It is critical to provide each emerging generation of creative leaders with early encouragement and to support artistic development. Acknowledging that these skills are best nurtured in an environment in which creativity is valued, it is also essential to recognize and reward educators for their classroom efforts to encourage creativity, and to cultivate support for young artists.
Values
We believe that:
· The arts should be a regular part of the education of all students.
· Working and thinking creatively are critical skills that should be taught to all students.
· Developing creative expression can make a significant contribution to success in a number of areas.
These include:
· Academic Achievement
· Social Development
· Employability
· Communication
· Critical Thinking
· Collaboration
· Social Problem Solving
· Exemplary student artists should be recognized and rewarded for their accomplishments.
· Teachers should be acknowledged and recognized for fostering creative expression.
· Teacher participation is critical to fulfilling the goals of NHAEA’s NH Scholastic Art Awards Program.
· The arts are critical to the health and future of America's cultural heritage and economic vitality.
Administration
