The Shops at Riverside Celebrates Hackensack Youth Art Month

In honor of Hackensack Youth Art Month, Simon’s The Shops at Riverside has teamed up with the Hackensack Public School District to display its annual student art exhibit.

Now in its 11th year, the exhibit features more than 200 creations of students from grades K-8 that are being prominently displayed on Level Two by The Gap until the end of March.

“We’re thrilled to once again be part of this worthwhile endeavor that allows these students to have their works of art viewed by thousands of our shoppers,” said Lisa Polino, director of marketing and business development for The Shops at Riverside. “It’s a great way for us to give back to the community and recognize the accomplishments of these youngsters.”

As part of the program, a special reception will be held on Wednesday, March 23 at 6:30 p.m. to celebrate art and the youth in the community. Members of the Hackensack City Council, teachers, students and their families will participate in the ceremonial gathering.
