ShenArts announces its annual Youth Art Show in celebration of National Youth Art Month! Join artists in grades K-12 for this juried exhibition, on display in March 2024 in Old Town Winchester.
About Youth Art Month
Every March, Youth Art Month is celebrated nationwide to bring focus to the arts and its impact on the total education and growth of young people. ShenArts joins organizations across the country in encouraging a commitment to art education, for building not only creativity, but also problem solving, observation, and communication.
ShenArts is proud to present this juried exhibition as a part of the Youth Art Month initiative and to support the area’s budding creatives. This show serves as a shining example of the talent and creativity found in our community’s youth, as well as a testament to the dedication and heart provided by local art teachers/instructors. We will feature artists from Kindergarten through 12th grade, in private school, public school, and homeschool.
As a special incentive for these young artists, all artwork in the exhibit will be considered for our ArtScape program. ShenArts will select three pieces to reproduce as ArtScape banners to hang in Old Town Winchester in 2024!
Wondering what to submit? Come create with us every month at Kids Art Club (ages 6-12) or Teen Art Club (age 13+) to spark your creativity and prepare work for the show! Contact [email protected] for more information.
