Youth Art Month is a month of promoting art and art education in the United States. It is observed in March, with thousands of American schools participating, often with the involvement of local art museums and civic organizations. Youth Art Month was founded in 1961 under the name Children’s Art Month, but has evolved to include students at all grade levels.
