The Harrison Council for the Arts is hosting a bounty of student artwork, on display in the Municipal Building & Public Library through March 31, 2010. Students at all grade levels are exhibiting their work, discussing their creative process, and celebrating their growth as young artists.
Youth Art Month is a month of promoting art and art education in the United States. It is observed in March, with thousands of American schools participating, often with the involvement of local art museums and civic organizations.
Youth Art Month was founded by the Crayon, Water Color & Craft Institute, Inc., in cooperation with the National Art Education Association, in 1961. Its goal was to "emphasize the value of participating in art for all children."
