Youth Art Contest 2010

Youth Art Month is an annual observance each March to emphasize the value of art education for all children. Art education develops self-esteem, appreciation of the work of others, self-expression, cooperation with others, and critical thinking skills. These skills are vital to the success of our future leaders, our children.

This year our theme is Creatures of the Sea. Use your imagination and create your own under water world. Let your imagination run wild! Check out our web site with last years winners www.wflains.org under the Fraternal Benefit side bar menu, contests.
