Thank you to all the teachers who supported their students so they were able to participate in the exhibit and to all the art educators who worked to put this exhibit together.
Happy Youth Art Month! Looking for some ways to incorporate this year’s YAM exhibit into your classroom? So often we use artwork created by professional artists to teach anything from elements of art to inspiration for skill building projects or exemplars, but why not use student work for the same purpose? Read on for some practical ways to share the YAM virtual exhibit with your students:
Use any of these free and Ready-to-use focus sheets from Cindy Ingram at the Art Class Curator to help students connect deeply with a piece of self-selected artwork from the galleries.

Piloted in 2018, the Massachusetts Amazing Emerging Artist Recognition Exhibit is a juried show for students of Massachusetts Art Education Association (MAEA) members in grades 9-12. This exhibition has been very successful with participation growing annually. Student entries are submitted digitally and judged by a panel of art educators. Selected works were exhibited at the State Transportation Building in Boston.
Due to the uncertainty brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the MAEA Recognitions Exhibit for 2021 will be a virtual exhibit, posted on the MAEA website. We see this as a real-life opportunity for students to express what is important to them in a visually powerful way. Presenting the exhibit online opens up the possibility of reaching a larger audience on a digital platform.
