Youth Art Month 2024

March is National Youth Art Month! MMAM is proud to partner with the Winona Area Public Schools and Art Educators of Minnesota to help celebrate and support quality art education in our schools. A small sample of amazing artworks created by local students this school year will be displayed in the Oberton Education Room throughout the month of March.

Through art education, students learn to see and act with a greater understanding and sensitivity to the world around them. The art experience enlarges the individual’s concept of who they are, what they value, and what it means to be a human being.  Students use their interests and abilities in ways that are unique and important to them when creating their work.  They develop individual creative expression, gain knowledge of art history and diversity, and evaluate their own thoughts, feelings, technical abilities, and process.
