Conference 2025

MAEA still does not have a conference chair for our typical annual conference in the fall of 2025. With that in consideration, the MAEA Board has partnered with Connecticut Art Education Association (CAEA) to provide a conference opportunity this fall for our membership.

Please see the details below for information about participating in the 2025 CAEA conference as a Massachusetts educator.

Connecticut Art Education Association (CAEA) is holding their conference, a one-day conference, on Saturday, October 25, 2025 at Central Connecticut State University, 1615 Stanley St, New Britain, CT 06050. Presenting at and attending the conference is open to Massachusetts educators! More information about the conference can be found here.
