September 23, 2021 - January 8, 2022

Starion Bank Gallery

Fargo Moorhead Visual Artists (FMVA), North Dakota Arts Education Association (NDAEA) and Plains Art Museum are coming together to promote and support our state and regional arts educators. This joint exhibition features the artwork of art educators and artists who directly interact in educating others in the visual arts. We recognize this special group of educators, instructors, and advocates who inspire new generations of artists and support their contributions to our communities. The Art Educators’ Exhibition is sponsored by the FMVA and NDAEA. Help us celebrate art educators, instructors, and advocates who contribute to our communities and inspire new generations of artists!
