Youth Art Encounters

March is National Youth Art Month.

Youth Art Month (YAM) is an annual observance each March to emphasize the value of art and art education for all children and to encourage public support for quality school art programs.

Established in 1961, YAM provides a forum for acknowledging skills that are not possible in other subjects.

The Council for Art Education, as sponsor of Youth Art Month, adopted the theme, "Start with Art, Learn for Life." Art education develops self-esteem, appreciation of the works of others, self expression, cooperation with others, and critical thinking skills.

All of these skills are vital to the success of future leaders — our children.

The Youth Art Encounters exhibition will showcase the wonderful art students of the Arlington Independent School District. Paintings, drawings, ceramics and a multitude of mediums will be on display representing the K-12 art program.
