John and Ross Robart have established this on-going award to honor their father, Randy Robart (1957-2021). Randy was an amazing OAEA Fellow, leader, artist/educator, and arts advocate. He also knew how to work on a shoestring budget and empathized with others (especially new teachers) who experienced the same challenge. Submit the form below by June 30, 2023. The award will be announced at the 2023 OAEA Toledo Conference. The winning applicant is encouraged to attend to be recognized.
