Caucus Historian's Report
by Laurel Lampela
Founded in 1994, the LGBTIC was formed by a group of art educators concerned with the isolation, invisibility, discrimination and prejudice that many lesbian, gay, and bisexual art educators, students, and artists experience. The caucus was granted affiliate status in March 1996 at the NAEA Convention in San Francisco when the Delegates Assembly voted 39 to 9 in favor. There were 12 abstentions.
This report of the LGBTIC Historian will cover the accomplishments of the LGBTIC from April 2000 to March 2001.
