Youth Art Month was founded by the Crayon, Water Color & Craft Institute, Inc. in cooperation with the National Art Education Association, in 1961 and was initially called Children’s Art Month. Its goal was to “emphasize the value of participating in art for all children.” It was renamed Youth Art Month in 1969, to include secondary school students.
