Overview

Mission

The Pennsylvania art education association actively supports and promotes visual art education through professional development, leadership and service.

What it reported doing in 2024

The paea board of directors reviewed and amended our constitution and by- laws through several face-to-face meetings. Regionally, paea offers professional development for art educators. We work with the Pennsylvania department of education, bureau of curriculum, assessment and instruction and naea (the national art education association) as well as numerous colleges, universities and k-12 schools across the state of Pennsylvania. We also collaborate with Pennsylvania arts advocacy groups, promoting arts and culture advocacy. The paea 2019 conference was held in state college and hosted over 300 art educators. The conference featured approximately 90 sessions, hands-on workshops, museum tours, and art education-related vendors.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 77% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
