Youth Art Exhibition at the Copper Country Community Arts Center
March is Youth Art Month, a time to celebrate the visual arts! This month, youth from all over the country will participate in exhibitions, art festivals, the creation of public artwork, and events to raise awareness and support for the arts. The event was created in 1961 as a chance to emphasize the value of visual art education, to expand available art programs, and to increase awareness of the arts.
