Fourth grader, Jackeline Gomez, won the Youth Art Month Flag Contest for the state of North Carolina.
Each year, the Council for Art Education (CFAE) celebrates Youth Art Month during the month of March. Youth Art Month encourages support for quality school art programs and is celebrated at a national level. The program recognizes and celebrates visual arts, especially visual arts education for grades K–12.
This year’s theme for Youth Art Month is “Take a Journey through Art.”
One way that the National Art Education Association, along with the state level branches, celebrates Youth Art Month is to sponsor a flag design competition. Children from all over the state were invited to enter.
We are very excited and proud to announce that one of our fourth-graders, Jackeline Gomez, was chosen as the state winner. Her design will be turned into an actual flag that will represent the North Carolina Art Education Association at the National Art Education Association National Conference and will return to North Carolina to be displayed at the State Conference in the fall, which will be held in downtown Winston-Salem this year.
