NEW INFO ON YAM AND YPAE (K-8) :
The Youth Art Month Show and Young People’s
Art Exhibit entry form is now posted! This year we are moving to an
online submission form. This change will help the YAM and YPAE show
chairs around the state collect the data more easily and cut down on errors. Before
filling out the forms, please take a photo of each artwork you plan on
entering. You will upload the photo that the exhibition teams will use
for Artsonia, the program and sketchbooks. After you submit
the form, you will be getting confirmation e-mail. Check to make sure
that the information is correct and print this out and attach to the
back of each artwork. December 15th is the deadline for online
submissions, but the due date for actual work in East Central is
December 2nd at the Canton Museum of Art (please check their hours on
the day you want to drop off).
