Radnor SD Artists' Work On Display Throughout March for Youth Art Month

Radnor School District student artists in Kindergarten through 12th grade will have their artwork featured at the Radnor High School throughout March as part of the Pennsylvania Department of Education's Youth Art Month, the district announced.

Student artists, district-wide, will have their work displayed starting Thursday, March 2 through Thursday March 23 at the high school, 130 King of Prussia Road, Radnor.

Student artists and their families will also be treated to a special reception from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 16 in the high school lobby, the district said.

March was designated as Youth Art Month to emphasize the value of art education for all students and to encourage public support for quality school art programs, according to the district.

"Art education in RTSD is designed to nurture and develop the natural joy of creating visual art; technical skill in art production; an appreciation for arts and artists, past and present, from various cultures; creative and critical thinking and problem solving skills; and visual literacy," the district said.

District art teachers are Alicia Agatone, Erik Barrett, Gayle Barwick-Collins, Margaret Boyd, Greta Carlton, Tracey Dean, Susan Eyerly and Tom McLaughlin.
