Forks YMCA Education Center Showcases Children's Artwork During Annual Art Show

The Forks YMCA Education Center's annual art show themed "Out of This World" showcases art the children created.

The Forks YMCA Education Center’s annual art show is taking place on Thursday, May 26, 2016 from 7:00 pm-8:30 pm. This year’s theme is “Out of This World” and in the gymnasium at the Family YMCA of Easton at 1225 W. Lafayette Street center children will be displaying the works they created. Children, from birth to age ten, work year round with their classroom teachers to create art based on a theme.

The pieces that the young artists created will be on display and auctioned off to raise money for scholarships. When a child makes, looks at, and talks about art and the artwork of others they gain valuable skills. The art show was created to infuse the arts more fully into the Forks YMCA Education Center's curriculum.

This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
