The International Youth Art Exchange Program
of the World Awareness Children’s Museum
2011 Awards and Honors Announced!

Now in its 25th consecutive year, the International Youth Art Exchange is a global art share and exhibition program. Every year students in many different countries draw for us, and for every piece we receive from overseas, we respond in kind by sharing with them the best that our American schools send to us. Artwork submitted from U.S. students is judged in April for awards and inclusion in the Museum’s permanent collection. Our archives now include more than 6,000 original works from 74 countries and are available for loan to schools, museum and organizations.
