We have been holding Youth Art month annually for many years.  We invite all the art teachers in our school districts to bring student artwork to display the entire month of March. We would have an evening art reception which brought moms, dads, grandma, grandpas etc  who would come and look at the students artwork.  We would provide "library punch," cookies and music.  Of course COVID has put the wrench in this large annual event.  So this year we went virtual and made it ALL ages.  We asked the local teachers, students and other members of our community to upload any artwork they had been working on.  We were happy to receive 284 submissions.  We organized the artwork photos into groups and created 11 seperate YouTube videos so the students and families could look through the artwork.  No Library Punch and cookies but at least we get to enjoy the talents of our local community.
