Young Artists Exhibition, on view March 8 - 29
In celebration of National Youth Art Month during March, the Hammond Regional Arts Center will host a “Young Artists” exhibition to give an opportunity for the public to peer into the classrooms of local art teachers. The Arts Center’s exhibition, on view from March 8-29, will showcase works of emerging art students throughout the city of Hammond from elementary school through high school. An opening reception will be held at the Arts Center on Friday, March 8, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Participating schools include Loranger High School, Midway Elementary, SLU Lab School, Hammond High School, Hammond Eastside and Westside Elementary, Holy Ghost Catholic School, St. Thomas Aquinas, Ponchatoula High.
Admission is free to the public and refreshments including a complimentary banana split bar complete with ice cream, fruit, nuts, sauces and sprinkles will be served. Patrons will be able to purchase tickets to win a giant basket of art supplies. The Arts Center will also be doing a special membership deal. All newly joined HRAC members will receive their choice of a free Love Pop card or a token for the Art-O-Mat art dispenser.
National Youth Art Month is an annual observance each March to emphasize the value of art education and to encourage public support for quality school art programs. The focus of this month is to convey to the public that art education develops self-discipline, self-esteem, and a sense of pride in self-expression. Youth Art Month has been observed nationally since 1961.
