YAM AT MEA in AUGUSTA

About the Exhibit:

Every fall, the Maine Education Association office in Augusta provides art teachers the opportunity to submit one piece of student art to be professionally framed and put on display at a student exhibit that hangs for several months. During Youth Art Month, they host a celebration where the students and their families are invited to the office to see the beautiful art exhibit in person. The event includes refreshments and a ceremony in which each student artist is presented with a certificate as well as note cards featuring their artwork.
