March is designated Youth Art Month by the California Art Education Association. In honor of this designation our district will be sponsoring two district wide art shows along with individual exhibits at several school sites. The work for our first annual Courthouse Display will be ready by the end of this coming week; this project has been a partnership between the Santa Cruz Superior Court and Wild Rose Framing and Art Supplies. The ongoing goal of this display is to provide a permanent, yet ongoing exhibit space for student art-work in our district. This partnership has gratefully solved an ever present problem of where our district show will hang each year. The second new exhibit is actually a return to a time gone by when we had only 18 schools and a cozy district office.
For the first time in 10 years we will have childrens' art-work on display in our district office! Two display boards have been purchased for the School Board room and there will be an ongoing display of both secondary and elementary work which is rotated each month with the hope that each of our 33 schools can have a chance to showcase their students' art-work. Along with the Board Room display, the Trustees will be signing a resolution in favor of supporting Youth Art Month in our district. As I hear of upcoming displays at our school sites, I will keep you posted.
