March is Youth Art Month! It’s a month of promoting art and arts education in the United States, with thousands of American schools and organizations participating, often with the involvement of museums, galleries, and other arts institutions.
IA&A invites our exchange visitors and #J1Alum to submit photos taken during their J-1 visa exchange program that relate to the theme of Youth Art Month! Photos can be of exchange visitors promoting arts education, engaging with museums, creating works of art, or anything else you feel captures the theme.
Winning photographs will be selected based on how well they represent the theme and the unique goals of IA&A’s Cultural Exchanges Program, which is to promote cross-cultural understanding and support the next generation of creative leaders.
The contest winner will receive a $50 Amazon gift card, with a runner-up receiving a $10 Amazon gift card.
