CELEBRATION TIME!

This past week, we reached 4000 members on Art Education 2.0! To commemorate this milestone, we'll be having a virtual party on Friday July 10 at 7:00 pm (EST in the U.S.). At that time, we'll have an open chat, a virtual treasure hunt (with PRIZES!) and an open house. I'll also be announcing a new project on the site. So, if you can, please stop by and join the celebration!
