With great excitement and pride, I am announcing that one of our students' art pieces was chosen to be the image of this year's ARTSY poster. His painting was voted among 27 others.
This brings much joy to the Alton art therapy program, Mark Twain, and to our district as a whole.
ARTSY is a yearly art exhibit that features youth art made with an art therapist in different therapeutic settings like school districts, Children's hospitals, residential facilities, private practices in the Metropolitan St. Louis area. This exhibit does not only shows great art, but each piece is accompanied by an artistic statement. The statement provides the opportunity for the youth to express their thoughts and feelings about their creations and/or talk about what the art means to them.
