ART WALL: Youth Art Month 
For the month of March Waterford Public School students 
from PreK-12 will have artwork displayed throughout the 
library in support of Youth Art Month. Youth Art Month 
was created in 1961 by the Art & Creative Materials Insti-
tute, Inc. (ACMI). It takes place during the month of March 
every year and recognizes art education as a necessity for 
child and adolescent development and to place emphasis 
on art education’s facilitation of critical thinking within stu-
dents. Throughout the month numerous art displays are 
created all over the United States to bring attention to the arts with hopes of expanding programs in schools 
as well as community engagement. Come immerse yourself in a journey of art through the ages!
