The Union County YAM exhibit celebrated its ninth year at the Plaza @Elizabethtown Gas Company/Liberty Hall Center in Union, NJ. The exhibit was held from February 11th through March 1st.
This year, 92 pieces of K-12 student artwork were on display in the Plaza atrium! Student artists, families and art teachers came to the closing reception on March 1st to view the beautiful artwork and to be honored at the award ceremony. YAM Proclamations from 17 mayors and all of our local assemblymen and freeholders were on view for guests to view.
At the reception, each student artist received a special YAM award and an additional award from the Union County freeholders! Students also received a bag filled with tons of art goodies donated by Chroma, Crystal, Davis Publications, General Pencil, Nasco, Ooly, Sargent, School Specialty-Sax, Sketch for Schools and Twisteez. Artsonia also donated some gifts from their online gift shops for parents to view and color prints of State YAM artists. Goodies were also donated by the Art of Education for the participating teachers.
Delicious refreshments were generously donated by the Union County Art Teachers.
It was a wonderful night for all who attended. Everyone enjoyed the exhibit and the food. Many comments were made on the beauty of the natural light of the exhibit space. Kudos for another great year of YAM in Union County!
