Come “Celebrate Art” and Youth Art Month by participating in the YAM Design Contest!  The Art Educators of New Jersey join other state arts organizations and participate in the YAM design competition.  Six winning entries will be chosen and used to celebrate Youth Art Month in New Jersey.  One winning entry will be replicated on the state YAM flag and flown in Washington, DC.  Other winning entries will be transformed into our state YAM poster, button, billboard and two YAM invitations. One of these six student designers will be selected by random drawing to receive a trip to New York Art Museums from Sargent Art.  Check your conference folder for more information about this trip.
