Youth Art Month
This year’s theme is:
Art Sparks Genius
The NJ State YAM Exhibit is a once in a lifetime opportunity for your art students. Each county in the state is asked to submit 6 pieces of artwork to represent the county. This artwork is selected by a panel of art teachers in each county and must be created by students of current AENJ members.
This year the 2011 State YAM Exhibit will be held from March 4th through March 11th at the Statehouse in Trenton. Over 100 pieces of NJ student artwork will be on display from every county in the state!
