Youth Arts Month is an annual observance each March encouraging support for art programs in our schools. One idea is to exhibit students' artworks in the community (galleries, libraries, public buildings, etc.) The focus of Youth Arts Month is to recognize ALL students' work - it should NOT be a contest. These art experiences and opportunities should build self-esteem, and it is hoped that the opportunity to exhibit publicly will be a positive experience for everyone. If you need more ideas of how to celebrate Youth Arts Month, contact the representative on the UAEA board - Robyn Card (801) 489-2810 or robyn.card@nebo.edu
The Utah Art Education Association is encouraging observance of Youth Art Month in March 2008 . We are awarding a $200 cash prize to be presented to the Utah public school teacher who has created the most successful and innovative visual arts project celebrating Youth Art Month for the State of Utah.
What is Youth Art Month? It is an annual observance each March to emphasize the value of art education for all children and to encourage support for quality school programs.
