March is Youth Art Month. As a nationally observed annual celebration, it is designed to highlight the value of art education for all children, while boosting support for quality art programs in schools.
This year s national theme is Art Connects Us , and is meant to recognize the benefits of students participating in arts education, including music, dance, creative writing, poetry, theater, and the visual arts.
Mary Billiter is the Arts Education Specialist for the Wyoming Arts Council. She said because of the pandemic, so many art activities had to change the way they looked.
She explained how that amplified the meaning of connection through the arts.
