Idaho Youth Art Month
It’s never too early to start thinking about Youth Art Month held annually in
March. Many events take place to celebrate this special time, however, we
encourage you to celebrate this year by holding a Youth Art Month Flag Design
Contest at your school this year. In addition to National, state and local recognition
- your student, one parent and YOU will have a chance to win a trip to New York
City thanks to this year’s generous sponsor- Sargent Art! The deadline is fast
approaching - January 11th! More information is just a click away - check out our
Youth Art Month Information Packet & Student Designer Entry Form.
If you have any further questions - please contact your YAM Co-Chairs listed to
the left.
What is Youth Art?
Youth Art Month is an annual observance each March to emphasize the value of
art education for all children and to encourage support for quality school art
programs. Youth Art Month was created in 1961 by ACMI, a non-profit
association of art and craft materials manufacturers, in cooperation with the
NAEA. In 1984, ACMI created CFAE to administer the national Youth Art Month
program and encourage funding for the program. Current members of the Council
include: ACMI, which provides all administrative support and the majority of
funding for national Youth Art Month; NAEA, whose members carry out
local Youth Art Month activities and whose state affiliates help fund state Youth
Art Month programs; The SHIP, a group of art materials exhibitors at the annual
NAEA Convention; and the General Federation of Women's Clubs, a volunteer
women's organization dedicated to community improvement through volunteer
service. Other involved organizations include the Association of Crafts & Creative
Industries, Hobby Industries Association, and National Art Materials Trade
Association.
