We hope that you were as excited as we were with the changes that were made last year for the Kansas Art Education Association's Youth Art Month Exhibit and Celebration!!!!!
PLEASE NOTE THE NEW DATES THIS YEAR TO BETTER ALIGN WITH "YOUTH ART MONTH"
Our venue changed to the "Alice Sabatini Gallery in the Topeka Shawnee County Public Library" and will once again take place there this year.
Our exhibit time frame will once again go from the ONE DAY that we had become accustomed to to a FULL MONTH!!! The artwork will be professionally shown in a gallery setting and will be available for viewing the entire time to make it more convenient for families to see the show!
We will still have our Celebration/Reception/Awards on the last day of the exhibit. We will be able to present our recognition awards in an auditorium!!
Our Sargent Art Sponsored Youth Art Month Art Competition for member's students will be entered and judged digitally with the work also being physically shown in the Youth Art Month Exhibit in the gallery. Note that Sargent Art provides us with a $1000 check to the student of the "Best of Show" artwork as well as materials prizes for other students and their teachers! Don't miss out on this opportunity for your student!
We hope that all of you will join us in celebrating Youth Art Month in Kansas!
