Reminder: The World Awareness Children’s Museum has partnered up with 10 schools and districts for a project that showcases student-made art. The kids museum recently sent out a press release that included a few of the artworks, and they look amazing!
All art and literature submitted to this initiative will be featured in an online virtual exhibition on the museum’s website next month, so stay tuned for more info.
