Celebrating Young Children’s Creativity

Since 1989, early childhood educators throughout California and beyond have generously shared their students’ art pieces at each of our annual conferences, beginning at San Francisco State University’s Student Union and currently at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara. The motivation and purpose for each child’s art differ from piece to piece. It may be art for the joy of doing, art related to a study or theme, or art to explore the possibilities of different materials. Whatever the motivation and purpose, young children possess an innate love to create. Doing art individually, as well as in a group, allows for children to freely express their unique talents. When children are given the freedom to explore a variety of art media, they can experience positive feelings about themselves and their work. Children develop manual dexterity and eye hand coordination as they integrate cognitive knowledge and physical growth.

All of us are looking forward to seeing you and your art at the upcoming 33rd Annual Young Children’s Art Exhibit! CKA Visual Arts Committee: Jane Anderson, Linda Becker, Diana Buckingham, Mary Cain, Carol Chivers, Laura Darcy, Stephanie Figula, Winter Hungerford, Peggy Kapaku, Ann Krause, Zelda LeFrak, Beth Marsh, Maureen Perkinson, Pat Rees-Miller, Marey Richins, Mary Schinnerer, Carol Seuferer, and Alicia Solano.
