Thank you to all who participated in the Youth Art Month program last year. Once again, Oregon was recognized with a national award.  It is up to us to continue to gain support and awareness for art education at the local, state and national levels.

Youth Art Month (YAM) was created in 1961 by the Council for Art Education, Inc as a national advocacy program. It is celebrated annually during the month of March, but highlights art successes that happen throughout the year. The Oregon Art Education Association (OAEA) sponsors the YAM program at the state level.

This year's theme is "Art Shapes the World!" and we invite you participate in as many ways as possible and to let us know what is happening in your classroom and community.
