Dutchess County Co-Coordinator
Sharon Ciccone, reads the names of the 2010 Region Art Teacher Award winners.

... and the other Dutchess County Coordinator, Roberto Romani, introduces Matthew Mazzatta, our keynote speaker.

The crowd was captivated - and many had questions about his methods and philosophy of art-making. Matthew gave a subsequent workshop on Artist Residencies.
In the McKenna Theater, first Len Bernstein followed  with workshops on Aesthetic Realism in Photography, then Jen Moore explored the use of Flip video cameras in her art classrooms.
Just one of the many engaging workshops,
where attendees tried the traditional art of Sumi-E painting with Sunwha Gil.
Decorating you-know-whats for Youth Art Month awareness
Alice Seeger gave a great workshop on Felting
Everyone enjoyed the workshop activities
As always, SUNY New Paltz Art Ed students helped the event run smoothly.
Their smiling faces and eager attitudes kept us all organized and orderly.
