Every year, KyAEA raises funds for our Allan Perkins Scholarship during our fall conference. One hundred percent of the proceeds go to student scholarships for those students who are pursuing the Art teaching field.
How do I participate?
Please bring new and/or used items that can be auctioned off to the conference. This can be ANYTHING! It does not have to be art related. If you are a regional representative, you are welcome to create a regional basket compiled by your KYAEA members. We are appreciative of all donations.
How do I prepare my donations?
Silent auction sheets will be available to fill out at the conference drop off location or you can download them here to fill out in advance. Fill out and print one form for EACH donation you submit to the auction. You need only fill out the "Donated by" and "Item Description" on these forms. Everything else will be filled out at the auction. Click the buttons to the right to download the donation form in PDF or Word format.

Alongside our vendor booths we love to host our talented art teachers from around the state to set up their own booths to sell their work of all mediums. This is also a great opportunity for student groups to raise money for their respective organizations.
The Artisan application must be completed prior to September 30, 2023 to ensure proper space needed.
Vendor booths are the perfect way to network with new teachers and share new products and lessons with teachers across the state of Kentucky. We invite all local and national brands to showcase with us in our vendor hall.
Vendor registration information coming soon!
Donate Today!
Since we have to limit the silent auction this year, we are asking all financially able members to donate at least $5 to support our scholarship fund for undergraduate and graduate students! Thank you for your support!
