Youth Art Month has been celebrated nationwide each March since 1961 to promote art and quality art education. The Council for Art Education, Inc. will be honoring student flag designers during the National Youth Art Month Ceremony. Earlier this year, each state held a student flag design program. A design was selected from each state and those designs were made into the incredible flags that will be raised at the ceremony.
