Ben Kvach views his artwork hanging at The Children's Community Gallery!

Ben Kvach and his brother recently visited the Huntsville Museum of Art's Children's Art Gallery. Ben's Impression Sunrise-inspired watercolor hangs behind him. 

If you are going to the art museum, please go during the month of March!  This is when YAM (Youth Art Month) is celebrated!  Students from all over north Alabama have their artwork hanging at the museum's upstairs.  Students from JVE and MSE have two pieces each upstairs.   AND... we currently have 20 works from MSE and 20 works from JVE hanging downstairs. 

I went to the YAM awards ceremony at the museum this past weekend, to find to my surprise that the museum has revamped it's upstairs educational and interactive art gallery for children.  It is totally fantastic!  Plus, it has my favorite style of art - Expressionism - showcased there! 

Please take time to take your child to the Huntsville Museum of Art during the month of March!
