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.
