A Is For Art - Art Exhibit

The Associated Students Children’s Center is celebrating a special week with an art show that features the art of children ages 6 months to 5 years. The show will include multi-dimensional art pieces utilizing both tradition and unusual artistic approaches.

This art show is also in celebration of the Week of the Young Child. The Week of the Young Child is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the world’s largest early childhood education association, with nearly 80,000 members and a network of over 300 local, state, and regional Affiliates. The purpose of the Week of the Young Child is to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs. NAEYC first established the Week of the Young Child in 1971, recognizing that the early childhood years (birth through age 8) lay the foundation for children’s success in school and later life. The Week of the Young Child is a time to play how the community will better meet the needs of all young children and their families.
