Each year, this district-wide art exhibition shares exemplary artwork created by BPS students with the thousands of employees and visitors who pass through Boston City Hall every day.  The 2013 exhibition will serve as the culmination of the district’s participation in the national Youth Art Month awareness campaign.  During the month of March, art teachers are invited to highlight their students in unique ways throughout their school communities, as a way to increase awareness of their programs.  The City Hall exhibition will bring these programs together at the end of the month, to art in BPS as a whole.
