Youth Art Month 2017: State Capitol Celebration March 9, 2018
YAM Flag Contest:  Entries due December 1, 2017
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, 2017
  • Regional shows are held in February.
