Hudson County YAM

On March 14th, I had the pleasure of attending the Hudson County YAM Reception at the Historic CRRNJ Train Station. What an amazing site! It is on Liberty State Island with views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the NYC Skyline.
Hundreds of people during the week of March 7th to March 14th viewed the artwork as they boarded the Liberty Ferries! The artwork was displayed on both easels and existing red display units that the State Park loaned for YAM use.

Many participating artists and their families attended the reception with their art teachers to receive their award and a free gift donated by General Pencil. A YAM Flag was displayed next to Artsonia copies of the 6 State Winners' entries that will be on display in Trenton. Brochures were also available for everyone to take home as a momento.

KUDOS to Ed Lu and Jenn Tiongson for finding this wonderful reception site and for creating this wonderful event for the children of Hudson County!
