 Creative Minds Unleashed!
e-Showcase Announced We hope all Massachusetts arts educators will participate in "Creative Minds Unleashed!"--a unique e-Showcase of student art work, grades pre-K through 12, for Youth Art Month, March, 2012. We are calling for you to post your exemplary student work on your organization's website, and the work may be in all domains of the arts, be it visual arts, performing arts, literary arts, or media arts, and sending us the link to post on the MA Cultural Council and Arts|Learning websites. For more information, please check out the Arts|Learning webpage.
We hope you will give every consideration in showing the general public the amazing creativity of Massachusetts students in public, charter, and private schools across our Commonwealth. Please consider sharing this information on your organizational websites and e-news blasts this week. |
