We hope that you were as excited as we are with the changes that we have made and continue to make 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. However, the Gallery is under renovations this year and the actual exhibit will be outside of the gallery in the lobby and library--but, will still be professionally displayed by the gallery personnel!
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 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 Youth Art Month Art Competition for member's students will be sponsored by BLICK Art Materials this year and will again be entered and judged digitally with the work also being physically shown in the Youth Art Month Exhibit.
KAEA and BLICK will be working together to provide awards/prizes 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!
