March is National Youth Art Month!
2011 Illinois Youth Art Month Poster
The purpose of Youth Art Month is to draw focus to art from students, parents, school administration, and communities. Art Educators have demonstrated their ingenuity and passion through such activities as student exhibitions, public artworks, and Arts festivals. Now is the time for you to advocate for art in your school and community.

IAEA members are encouraged to send documentation of their Youth Art Month activities, large or small, to the Youth Art Month Coordinators. It is important to document all art events and activities that take place during / around Youth Art Month. All observances and documentation materials from Illinois are collected into a portfolio binder that is then submitted nationally to the Council for Art Education. This portfolio serves as evidence of Illinois’ efforts in promoting art education, and it increases local and national political awareness of the importance of art education. SUBMIT Youth Art Month Documentation Please help strengthen Illinois’ portfolio and document your art activities during and around March. Complete this form and submit any photos, press clippings, sample items, or video documentation of your hard work. Send all items to the Yam Co-Coordinators via email or traditional mail by May 15th.
