Spend a Weekend in Beaufort
We are thrilled to be back again in beautiful Beaufort, South Carolina for the SC Art Education Association’s Staff
Development Conference. At the heart of our conference are the wonderful hands-on workshops and lectures presented
by our talented members. We are proud to say that we have over 90 incredible workshops for our members to choose
from. Please show your appreciation for our wonderful presenters taking their time and energy to share their talents
with you. All General Sessions will take place in the USCB Center for the Arts Auditorium.
Our featured artists will be Debi West, former GAEA President and NAEA SE Region Vice-President (Friday); Dr. Kim Defibaugh, NAEA’s President (Saturday) ; and Dr. Susanne Gunter, Art Chair at Converse College (Sunday).

evening we will have the opportunity to attend the USCB Faculty Show and Reception at the Sea Island Center
from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm, followed by an evening of some incredible hands-on night sessions.
Saturday morning starts off with the Vendor breakfast, followed by Regional Meetings and then our Keynote Session
