Platform and Position Statements
NAEA platforms and supporting position statements relate to national issues or topics of interest to the profession and/or field of visual arts education. The statements, representing the voice of the Association, are created to advance the mission of the organization.
NAEA has established six platforms within the art education profession. Position statements are placed in the most pertinent platform. Position statements are written by content experts and reviewed by the membership at large. Adopted statements are initially reviewed at the three year mark and subsequently every five years to ensure the terminology, application, and stance, as well as the topic itself, remains relevant.
