West Woods to Host Youth Art Celebration

The Connecticut Art Education Association's annual art show, celebrating National Youth Art Month, will this year be held at West Woods Upper Elementary School.

Art teachers from around the state of Connecticut submit five exemplary pieces of student art work for display in the show, which is open to members only. The purpose of the show is to celebrate children's art, advocate for art education, and bring to light the result of exceptional artistic skills and creativity taught throughout the State of Connecticut by members of the CAEA.  

The work submitted includes kindergarten through high school-level art. 

Over 300 works of art are on display for visitors to see in the lower level hallway gallery. The closing reception is scheduled for Saturday, March 31, 2012 from 1 to 3 p.m. for student artists, families, and friends. Congratulations to the students and their art teachers that have art work on display!
