VAEA Educator award, research grant and profile on VCUArts website

I was profiled on the VCUArts website last week for my two recent honors:

Courtnie Wolfgang, assistant professor in the Department of Art Education, was recently named the 2019 Higher Education Art Educator of the Year at the Virginia Art Education Association’s fall conference.

While the award acknowledges Wolfgang’s influence on her students, her work outside the classroom has also received recognition. She was recently awarded a VCUarts Dean’s Exploratory Grant to develop “Queering the Narrative,” an oral history project documenting the educational experience of LGBTQIA+ artists and arts educators.
