This March let’s celebrate teens making art participating in Youth Art Month. According to the Council for Art Education, the 2024/2025 theme is “Healing Through Color.” 

How can you participate?

  • 1. Visit Waldorf West Branch and visit Teen Central to view multiple canvases from our Teen Collaborative Art Project. You can also check out original window art painted by a local teen. Then take  a few minutes to sit and draw in our Teen Sketchbook.
