Heartland Artist Art Exhibit Celebrates Youth Art Month

Over 125 students exhibited their artwork in downtown Plymouth as the line snaked out the door on Friday evening, March 12th. Parents, grandparents, teachers, and friends enjoyed the work that students from Plymouth Elementaries and St. Michael's Elementary had created this year. Work varied from Egyptian portraits, violin performers, and Abraham Lincoln to 3D creations.
Youth Art Month is a national event to celebrate visual art and its benefits for youth in our schools.

"Well-developed programs of making and studying art serve many functions. They help students better articulate their perceptions and shape coherent responses to their experiences. When children learn to appreciate form and color...when they learn the importance of fashioning their own images of the world around them, they achieve greater discipline and self confidence. Further, the arts have extrinsic public value as they are increasingly important to this nation's economy."

Congratulations to the students and their families!
