Atlantic/Cape May County YAM Chairs Lisa Confora and Kathy Nichols celebrated Youth Art Month at the Noyes Arts Garage of Stockton University on Saturday March 30th. The Noyes Arts Garage of Stockton University located in the heart of Atlantic City, is host to a vibrant new cultural arts center, artist studio spaces, and exhibit space. This modern urban setting is the perfect arena for our young artists. The working artist studio spaces allow for the student, parents, family, and friends the ability to experience various cultures and styles of art.
The central gallery space features student art throughout the year. During the month of March the two counties were showcased for the YAM celebration. We collaborated with 11 local schools and 12 teachers whose love for the arts really showed through in their student’s artwork and enthusiasm.
There were over 200 artists, family, friends, & teachers in attendance. There were 150 pieces of art hung that represented grades 1-12 including special needs students. We had a wonderful outpouring of donations! A big thank you to those teachers who so thoughtfully brought food/drinks which helped to make this such a successful reception, and of course to the amazing artwork of super talented students.
What a wonderful group of steadfast art educators, whose consistency is always appreciated and welcomed each and every year. A huge Thank you to all of you for making this year another amazing success!
