Youth Art Month
MARCH IS YOUTH ART MONTH!
March has been designated Youth Art Month nationally since 1961. Prescott has always displayed student art but it was in the late 1970’s when then art coordinator Anne Sullivan envisioned a unified K-12 art show. Ponderosa Mall (newly constructed) became our first home for this district show. When I took over as coordinator in the early 80’s, we began a very long and positive relationship with Yavapai College to exhibit our students' art there. Once the Performance Center was built we were offered the foyer, which we enjoy immensely. Our students’ artwork is visited by thousands of Prescott residents and visitors from out of state and even foreign countries.
Not only do we display at Yavapai College, we also hang at the Prescott Unified District Office and at Prescott High School in our own Ruth Street Gallery and Mountain Artists Guild Gallery. Each month, throughout the school year, the elementary and middle school teachers hang rotating shows in several locations.
