Kristi Oliver | 2020 Eastern Region Art Educator

We are thrilled to share the news that our very own Professional Development Manager, Kristi Oliver, has been awarded the 2020 Eastern Region Art Educator Award. Kristi joined Davis in June of 2019, and we couldn’t be happier to have her on our team. Congratulations Kristi!

From NAEA: “The National Art Education Association has named Kristi Oliver, of Millis, MA, to receive the 2020 Eastern Region Art Educator Award.
