"WHOOP WHOOP! We did it again! The 2019 Virginia YAM Portfolio received the Award of Excellence from the Council for Art Education! The state portfolio is a compilation of imagery and documentation from the county/district portfolios submitted to the state contest. Click the image to see the full portfolio.

This year's theme is "Take a Journey through Art!"

As art teachers, we know that art unites so much in our students minds and lives. Art compels students to think! We value the opportunity to teach young people and feel that our students’ accomplishments must be celebrated! YAM is the perfect opportunity to show off the magnitude of art to those who may not ordinarily notice.

On this webpage you will find a variety of tools to help display your art program. Please utilize the information to help your students’ successes shine. If you have questions please share with your art director or lead art teacher who may then forward your thoughts to Jauan Brooks or Kelley Shradley-Horst (see below email and address).

We look forward to sharing our celebrations of Youth Art Month together!

Sincerely,
Virginia YAM Committee
