Youth Art Month was founded by the Crayon, Watercolor, and Craft Institute in 1961 to emphasize the value of participating in the arts for all children.

Youth Art Month is celebrated throughout the country each year, typically in March. The theme for this year's event is "Art Connects Us".

The Staunton Augusta Art Center celebrates by hosting its annual Youth Art Show featuring works from local K-12 and independent schools.

Approximately 45 schools participate each year.
