The 2011-2014 NAEA Strategic Plan called for creation of a commission to: “conduct research and generate knowledge that enriches and expands visual arts education and widely share that research and knowledge.” The NAEA Research Commission officially launched at the 2012 NAEA National Convention.

NAEA Research Commission Network

Divisions, Interest Groups, and ultimately members locate themselves in the many connections of research that exist across the organization. The Research Commission is pursuing an enduring and emergent network of research communities to help us register our interests, articulate our needs, and identify or build the resources essential to supporting our individual and collective goals.

In lieu of a research agenda, the NAEA Research Commission Network offers an inclusive, connective, and responsive vision of research in the field of art education—the NAEA Research Commission Network. Through the Network, synergies will emerge, expand, and collapse on the basis of researcher interests and the communities of engagement that materialize around this work.
