Youth Art Month is celebrated each March by K-12 schools across our country to encourage support quality school art programs. The national theme is Your Art Your Voice and we are excited to highlight the creative talent of our youngest community members. Art on the Bricks wants to thank our schools for enriching the lives of students and the community with art, dance, theater and music. Artists of all ages will also be exhibiting their work in galleries, shops and restaurants in Downtown Rogers during the 2nd Thursday Art on the Bricks Art Walk.
