2017 Virginia Art Educator of the Year: Ginna Cullen

Mary Virginia (Ginna) Cullen of Louisa, Virginia received the award for 2016 Art Educator of the Year from the Virginia Art Education Association. Linda Conti says of Ginna, “she is a quiet warrior for art education, working constantly in the trenches on her own work, guiding others, and setting a gold standard for how to teach art and art education to teachers, who then pass this knowledge on to their students.”
​
Ms. Cullen, a retired art teacher with Louisa County, holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Mary Washington University, and a Masters of Interdisciplinary Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). She currently serves as the Central Virginia Coordinator for the M.I.S. in Interdisciplinary Art Program with the VCU Office of Continuing and Professional Education, supervises student teachers, and teaches a Book Arts class for art professional development to K-12 teachers.
