Youth Art Month 2026

Ticonic Gallery (at 93 Main Street) is delighted to partner with Greene Block + Studios (at 18 Main Street) to celebrate Youth Art Month with a spectacular, multi-site exhibition of artwork by local students in grades K–12. Featuring works in a variety of media, including painting, digital art, pottery, photography, and more. Youth Art Month is an opportunity for students to showcase their work in a gallery setting and share their achievements with their families and their community. The 2026 theme is The World Needs Art.

Youth Art Month is a national initiative designed to emphasize the value of art education for all children and to encourage support for quality school art programs.

Join us for the opening reception on March 13! Thank you to sponsors the Harold Alfond Foundation, Kennebec Savings Bank, the City of Waterville, and the Colby Center for the Arts and Humanities.
