March is designated as National Youth Art Month. Youth Art Month is the time to showcase visual art programs throughout schools, districts, communities and all of Washington. It is recognized throughout the United States as an opportunity to celebrate and serve as an advocacy tool to promote the importance of visual art in educating children as a whole. We promote Youth Art Month as a vehicle to advocate the importance of the visual arts.
Here are two important ways for YOU to celebrate this year:
1. Participate in the Flag Design Competition!
The theme for 2023-2024 is "Dream In Art" We have pushed back the due date to 2/10/24.
2. Share the YAM Proclamation with your Principal, Superintendent, School Board, and/or Mayor so they can declare March as Youth Art Month!
This is a great advocacy tool to put the spotlight on all the great things we do to enhance students' lives through the power of Art!
