NM Youth Art Month (YAM) Information

YAM is traditionally, and nationally, held in March, but events take place throughout the year! YAM showcases NM secondary student artwork across the state. It is not only a chance to participate and be seen at a national level, but an advocacy opportunity as well. Promote your school with these programs!
