To be an active member of NAEA everyone is required to participate in a community service per semester.

Here is your chance to be involved!

There is a business opening on South St. between Elm and Walnut, and they need help with their window display. The story is that they give peanut butter to countries in need when you purchase something from their clothing store. So we are going to build a sculpture out of peanut butter jars in the shape of a peace sign, because that is symbolic of their purpose.

Wednesday (tomorrow) we are going to start the building process. We will be in room 7 at the Art Annex with all the supplies at the earliest 10am until 5pm at the latest. If you can come and help please let us know!
Earlene123@missouristate.edu

Meeting time and date change

There will be an NAEA meeting on Tuesday the 30th @ 8:00pm at the Coffee Ethic.

We will be discussing the spring MAEA conference, assigning art projects to build a downtown map, and if we get the supplies we will start building the window display.

The December 3rd Art Walk is around the corner! That means
TOMORROW is your last chance to see:

Biennial Faculty Exhibition Part I

Robert E. Smith

October 13 1927 - Febuary 12 2010

His works are described as Bold, Colorful, and Honest. He was known as a man who wanted to make people smile and laugh, as is depicted in most of his art work. A replication of his painting is downtown on Campbell and Walnut. There is a blog dedicated to Robert at roberteugenesmith.blogspot.com. Here are posting of memories and updates of the memorial service to come. May Robert Rest in Peace
