Announcing the annual “Young at Art” student display of visual arts sponsored by the Nevada County Superintendent of Schools. It is part of a national program recognizing March as Youth Art Month, and is a public testimony to the value of the arts in education. The public is invited to view “Young at Art” displays from students across the county at the Rood Center following all the safety protocols and precautions; masks and physical distancing required.  The Rood Center, located at 950 Maidu Avenue in Nevada City is open Monday through Friday 8am-5pm and the display lasts until May 21st.

Some of the artwork on display by Nevada County schools at the “Young at Art” arts exhibit at the county’s Rood Center in Nevada City off Maidu Avenue.

This is an opportunity to experience the delightful, joyous and inventive creativity of Nevada County’s students and the hard work and expertise of the county’s teachers and staff.

This year there are a variety of displays showing the arts standards being integrated across other core subject areas such as world language and Social Studies. 

Arts experiences build cognitive, emotional and artistic pathways and develop skills in communication, critical thinking, imagination and creativity.  Following is a link to a gallery slideshow for those not able to attend.

To see the complete slideshow of art being represented in the halls of the Rood Center, go to:  Young at Art Student Showcase Slideshow.
