Youth Art Month

Youth Art Month Exhibit is celebrated each spring at Sacred Heart School.

The Kids Art Fair provides an unforgettable art experience that sparks your child’s pride in their creative work, brings families and faculty together, and enriches our school community. Each child’s art masterpiece is carefully framed in a gallery style black frame with a bevel-edged double mat with a non-breakable glass-like acrylic. The art will be on exhibit, gallery style and can also be purchased.

We hope you will join our celebration of the visual arts.
