In celebration of Youth Art Month, the artwork of students from throughout the Hamilton School District will be on display during March at the Pauline Haass Public Library in Sussex. The public is invited to view the artwork during regular library hours.
“We know March is approaching when people start asking when the art will go up!” commented Pauline Haass Public Library Director Adele Loria. “Everyone seems to have a memory of this beloved community tradition, whether it’s seeing their children’s work, having their own art displayed or simply marveling year after year at the talent and creativity on display. It really highlights the power of art to enrich communities and strengthen connections between people.”
Youth Art Month is celebrated each year to emphasize the value of art education for all children and to encourage public support for quality school art programs. It began in 1961 as Children’s Art Month and is administered by the Council for Art Education.
