NAFAE is...

NAFAE offers a forum for the concerns and interests of Fine Art educators to be disseminated and heard. As universities and FE institutions face the challenges of a significant reduction in government funding, together with rising tuition fees, the need to represent the collective voice of the sector is as crucial as it has ever been.
