Youth Art Month at the Portland Museum of Art is an annual exhibition showcasing the talent in Maine’s art education programs. In collaboration with the Maine Art Education Association (MAEA), the PMA is honored to present artwork made by young artists in our communities. Youth Art Month is also an opportunity to highlight the art educators in our schools and the importance of and access to quality art programs. Art educators help to inspire and empower young artists, creating avenues for young artists to express their creativity, find their voice, and cultivate communication skills.
The incredible art you see here is the work of one of Westbrook Middle School's amazing artists, Daphne McCannell. Congratulations, Daphne!
