For the past twenty years, IU Art Museum educators and the art teachers of Monroe County Community School Corporation (MCCSC) have partnered to celebrate Youth Art Month during the month of March with a student art exhibition. Observed locally since 1973, Youth Art Month emphasizes the “value of art education for all children and encourages support for quality school art programs.” Works of art selected by MCCSC art teachers showcase the excellence and variety of art education in local schools. These selections, representing grades kindergarten through six, are on view in the second floor of the IU Art Museum’s Thomas T. Solley Atrium beginning March 1. A reception and celebration for the young artists and their families and teachers will take place on Saturday, March 7, from 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. on the second floor of the museum’s Solley Atrium.
