In addition to taking their turns as would-be celebrity artists, the pair sampled some of the latest in art products and took in exhibits from hundreds of quality art vendors. They attended hands-on sessions, lectures and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) demonstrations.

The NAEA Convention historically is the largest gathering of visual arts educators in the world.
