March is nationally recognized as Youth Art Month, and at the Quinlan Visual Arts Center it will be celebrated in style. All Quinlan gallery spaces will be devoted to the display of youth art entries from March 17 through April 9, 2011.  This annual youth art competition is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Gainesville.  All local Gainesville and Hall County middle and high schools have been invited to submit their best artwork from students grade 6 to 12.  Winners of this competition will receive scholarship awards from the Charles J. Thurmond Youth Art Scholarship fund.  The award announcements will be made at a reception for students and parents will be held at the Quinlan on Friday, March 18, from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. 

We are so pleased to announce the opportunity for elementary students to participate in Youth Art Month this spring!

This is a non-competitive art exhibition for elementary school students grades 3 – 5. All participants will receive special certificates of recognition. Click HERE for official announcement and art entry forms.
