NJ State Youth Art Month Exhibit

Pictured above are a few moments from the State Youth Art Month Reception held on March 30th in Trenton. It was a wonderful event that highlighted the students who had work featured in the state exhibit.

AENJ is grateful for the hard work of the many people who made all of the 2012 YAM celebrations so festive for the students, families and communities in our state! New Jersey knows how powerful the arts can be, and how important they are to the well-rounded education of all students! Think about what you can do to celebrate YAM in 2013!!
