Special Thanks to Sargent Art for Supporting Youth Art Month in California
In 2012, the teachers of the first place winners in each grade level category (K-12, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12) from each Area level exhibition will be awarded Sargent Art materials prizes at Area Exhibitions. The first place winner in each grade level category (K-12, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12) from each Area exhibition advances to the state level and one of these lucky students, his or her parent, and the teacher will be awarded a trip to New York through the support of Sargent Art.
