VI Youth Art Month Online Gallery Showcases Student's Work

The Virgin Islands Youth Art Month Online Gallery has been so successful that they are opening up submissions again. What began as a solution to the cancellation of their 12th annual art show has expanded into this wonderful platform sharing art work from VI youths. The YAM Student Art Online Gallery can be viewed on the group’s Facebook page.

The gallery currently has artwork from VIMSIA students including, Sofia Kappel, Zia Gibbs, and Deja-Marie Simon.

Deja-Marie was recently quoted in the St. John Source article about the exhibit. “Art helps me draw or paint out how I feel. It is a very good stress reliever. When I start to have anxiety, I just draw to calm down,” Simon said”
