Congratulations to all our 2016 Youth Achievement Award winners! Students from our Art FUNdamentals program were invited to submit their portfolios containing work they had completed throughout their year, as well as several specific assignments to demonstrate the techniques taught in class. The board of directors then sat down and judged the work based on how well the students executed perspective, representation, concept, tone/shading and overall effort put into the assignments. On Saturday June 25th, 2016 an awards ceremony was held where students were awarded with Gold, Silver or Bronze medals.

Our Art Through Crafts students were not left out, as they were awarded with certificates of achievement to celebrate all of their great work throughout the year.

Once again, congratulations to all our 2016 Youth Achievement Award winners!
