Sioux City Art Center celebrates Youth Art Month with student displays
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — In honor of Youth Art Month, the Sioux City Art Center is welcoming the public to glance at Siouxland students' best work.
For the 36th annual Youth Art Month Exhibit, 59 pieces of art were put on display for folks to see. All created by 9th-12th grade students from various schools around Siouxland.
On Sunday, the Sioux City Art Center handed out 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards for best in show, and officials say they hope to encourage more people to get creative through this event.
'Student artists don't always receive a lot of opportunities to showcase their work, but as Youth Art Month is the focus of art education, we just want to also show the community how important it is to have these programs within our education system,' said Kim Albreacht, with the Sioux City Art Center.
If you'd like to check out the art for yourself, the exhibit will be available until April 19th.
