I was asked to jury the Sioux City Art Center’s 34th Annual Youth Art Month Exhibition. Serving as a juror or judge is always an honor, and I love getting to see what young artists are creating! I judged the entries a couple of day ago, and I look forward to the awards ceremony next month.

From the Sioux City Art Center: “Celebrating Youth Art Month, the Sioux City Art Center will feature its 34th Annual Youth Art Month Exhibition from February 26 – April 9, 2023. This year’s exhibition features work by middle school students and is juried by Morningside University professor Shelby Prindaville. Youth Art Month is an annual, nation-wide observance celebrating art education for children and encourages public support for quality school art programs. Created in 1961, YAM began as Children’s Art Month for the purpose of emphasizing the value of all children participating in art.

The reception for Youth Art Month will be on Sunday, February 26, 2023, from 1:30 – 3:00pm. Presentation of awards will take place at 2:00pm.”
