Hello families, art educators, and our Nebraska community,
Although our celebration did not take place on March 21, our NATA YAM team put together a video celebrating our artists/creators and art educators.

Please go to this link to view several items including:
1.  2020 NATA YAM Presentation
2.  2020 YAM Virtual Celebration Recording
3.  2020 YAM Program
4.  Senator Hunt's message (In the virtual recording, the clarity of her message is a bit muddled, so we provide the original she recorded for your viewing pleasure)
5.  A Google Doc with a link to the 2020 Virtual Celebration Recording

We hope you enjoy and celebrate our young artists/creators with us, along with the amazing Nebraska art educators who facilitate incredible art experiences for our students.

Stay well!  Stay safe!  And keep making art!
See you in 2021!
