During the YAM Festival, join us for a Street Art Workshop where you can tag, stencil and paint murals! “Youth Art Month: Art Shapes the World” exhibition will feature art by local youth in collaboration with area schools and will run from March 1st through May 19th.  The YAM Festival will be held Saturday, March 8th from 9:00am to 1:00pm at the Alexandria Museum of Art, which features free admission for the day!
