The art exhibition by Ohio students in grades kindergarten through eighth is on display at the State Teacher’s Retirement Systems (STRS) building, 275 East Broad Street, in Columbus, Ohio during the month of March.
Emily Colonel holds her artwork that was among 158 pieces of artwork from through the state to be selected for display during the month of March at the 2012 Ohio Art Education Association’s Youth Art Month Exhibition in Columbus.“One hundred and fifty-eight pieces of artwork were selected for this juried show from the nine OAEA regions of the state of Ohio,” noted Monroe art educator Adrian Hawk.
New Richmond Elementary first grader Makaila Burnham and fifth grader Everett Olenick also had their artwork selected for display by the Ohio Art Education Association.
A reception and awards ceremony will be held at the STRS building on Saturday, March 10, 2012 for the young artists, their parents, teachers and guests.
Among its many professional endeavors, OAEA works to promote art education and recognizes quality student art through various exhibits sponsored during the year at both the state and regional levels.
“The Youth Art Month Exhibition comes about through many volunteer hours by art teachers in the state of Ohio,” said Vance.
