What is the TASA / TASB Convention

Every year TASA / TASB (the Texas Association of School Administrators and the Texas Association of School Boards) meet for a fall convention! TAEA presents exhibits during this convention to continue to advocate for visual arts throughout the year!

Convention Highlights

At the TASA / TASB Convention, you'll have the chance to visit an amazing student art exhibit, as well as participate in student artist-led interactive demonstrations!

You can also visit the Visual Art Advocacy booth, where you can learn more about communicating the importance of quality visual arts programs at the local, regional, and state levels!

Join us September 27 - 29, 2024 for the TASA / TASB Convention at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas!
