ABOUT YOUTH ART MONTH

Youth Art Month is an annual observance each March to emphasize the value of art education for all children and to encourage support for quality school art programs. It provides a forum for acknowledging skills that are fostered through experience in the visual arts that are not possible in other subjects offered in the curriculum.
