And

Recognitions- Massachusetts Amazing Emerging Artists Exhibit

Again, this year, Wayland High School is participating in Youth Art Month. I selected the following 6 students to display their work at the State Transportation building in Boston to represent some of my favorite projects! This exhibit, sponsored by the Massachusetts Art Education Association (MAEA), is part of Youth Art Month (YAM), a national celebration held each year during March, that emphasizes the value of art education for all children and encourages support for quality art programs in schools.

Across Massachusetts there are numerous celebrations and exhibits happening in schools, in districts, and regionally. The Boston exhibit, Building Community Through Art is the only statewide YAM Exhibit in Massachusetts and features student work from over 90 communities.

The Exhibit will be on display and open to the public weekdays 9-5,
February 5, 2018 - March 27, 2018.
It is closed weekends and Presidents’ Day 2/19/18)
