Youth Art Month

Youth Art Month is a national celebration of the visual arts in education. Youth Art Month is held annually in March and is designed to emphasize the value of quality art education for all children and to encourage support for quality school art programs.

What is Youth Art Month (YAM)?

YAM was created in 1961 as a service to art educators and the public with the following objectives:
 
•Recognize art as a necessity for the complete development of a high quality of life for all people
•Direct attention to art education as an effective vehicle to teach critical thinking, communication skills, self-expression and multi-cultural awareness
•Increase community, business and government support for art education

Who participates?

Participation in the exhibit is open to participating school students in grades K-12 in Fannin and surrounding counties and homeschooled children from within Fannin County.
