2026 Art Acquisitions
Andrew Monroe, a Fraser art teacher and MEA member, won Best in Show at the 62nd MEA/MAEA Art Acquisitions Purchase Exhibition for his charcoal drawing titled “Eyedentity.” The piece was inspired by a Social Security application and explores themes of assigned identities versus personal identity, including how individuals are viewed by others versus how they define themselves. The exhibition, co-sponsored by MEA and the Michigan Art Education Association, also awarded Honorable Mention, Juror’s Choice, and Purchase Awards.
