The month of March is designated nationally as Youth Art Month.  Are you celebrating your visual art program with activities during this month?  Consider ways you can put a spot light on your program especially in March.  Watch this page for updates on the many Wisconsin opportunities to participate in Youth Art Month Activities.  

Youth Art Month Highlights art activities throughout the school year and culminates in two exciting activities.  The first is the Flag & Banner Program.  To promote Youth Art Month, The Council for Art Education coordinates Youth Art Month activities at the national level.  The primary event is the State Flag Program.  Using the national or state theme, each state coordinates a flag design contest, with the winning design made into a flag for display in the Youth Art Month Museum at the National Art Education Association Convention (NAEA).  

The second component is the Artwork Display Program.  Student artwork is displayed at the WAEA regional art shows with the winning pieces moving on to the State Capitol Art Show in Madison, WI. 

  • Each teacher (must be a WAEA/NAEA member) may submit up to five student art works to be displayed at Regional Art Shows.
  • Every teacher (WAEA/NAEA member) will have three artworks chosen to be exhibited at State.
  • Entry Fee: $15.00, make check payable to Wisconsin Art Education Association and include with entry submission to your Regional Vice President.
  • Online Registration Deadline to submit Art Work is January 31, 2018 unless Regional exhibit has an earlier deadline. See below. 
  • Regional shows are held in January and February.
  • State Capitol Show will be held in Madison, Wisconsin on March 9, 2018.
  • Sargent Art Grand Prize: Cash prize of $1,500 in the form of a check. Their teacher receives classroom art supplies worth $2,000. There will be one Category Winner from each category of Elementary, Middle Level, and High School.  The winning students receive an assortment of art supplies worth $100. The winning teachers receive classroom art supplies worth $300
  • Gift baskets with art supplies for other winners.
  • Raffle for excellent teacher prizes – every participating teacher will be entered to win!!!

​Youth Art Month Endorsement forms are also available.  These can be signed by administrators and school board members. Endorsement forms show that school board members, administrators, city leaders and state leaders and legislatures value Art Education.  It is simply an "I support Art education in Wisconsin" statement when they sign it.  We use it as publicity that we have a strong backing for our Art Education programs in Wisconsin.  

Please fill them out and send to Tiffany Beltz
