Where in the World Is Youth Art Month?
School Arts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, v103 n6 p55 Feb 2004
Youth Art Month (YAM) is an annual observance each March to emphasize the value of art education for all students and to encourage support for quality school art programs. Youth Art Month (YAM) is in virtually every state, in many communities, in schools, libraries, stores, and other places. Anyone can start an observance--an art educator, a parent, a librarian, a youth organization leader, a businessperson, a student--anyone who has a genuine concern for quality art programs and who is willing to work with others in the school system or community. The observance may be small or large, and may range from a single exhibit to a community-wide or statewide project. This brief article provides a contact number to find the name of the chairperson for each state. To avoid confusion and duplication, each person involved should have a specific job when carrying out YAM activities. Those jobs are listed in this article.
