Boys & Girls Clubs Exhibition
February 3-5, 2012
The Museum of Monterey is proud to present an exhibition featuring inspiring artwork by youth from the Boys & Girls Club of Monterey County.
Thirty talented young artists from the Boys & Girls Clubs, ranging in ages 6-18, will be recognized during the event. The exhibit is part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County’s participation in the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s National Fine Arts Exhibit Program competition, which promotes young people’s creativity and encourages artistic skills and cultural enrichment. Two local youths who have been recognized and national and regional winners of the competition will be highlighted in the exhibit.
Participation in the arts has a direct connection to overall academic success and gives youth the opportunity to develop leadership, critical thinking, and long-term goal setting skills. In a well-documented national study, researchers from UCLA found that students with high arts involvement performed better on standardized achievement tests than students with lower arts involvement. They also watched fewer hours of TV, participated in more community service, and reported less boredom in school. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County work to fulfill the need for youth arts programming by offering daily classes, exhibits, and field trip opportunities to the youth of our community.
