MAEA Youth Art Month

         Youth Art Month is celebrated every year during the month of March with a student exhibit in the Capitol Rotunda. Each member teacher sends in up to four pieces for this exhibit. Artwork that reaches the state rotunda is an honor in itself. In addition, there are six other awards including the Governor's Choice Award, Governor's Mansion Award and one for each division, lower elementary, upper elementary, middle school and high school.

Deadline for submitting entries is February 1st ('10).

For questions please contact YAM co-chairs
Connie Shoemaker and/or Lori Bockting.
