Event: Just My Height

Dates: 4 Mar 2017 - 10 Feb 2017

Whether it's abstract or realistic, contemporary or classic, young children love fine art. But most fine art shows exclude children as part of the audience by displaying the artwork too high for them to see. Just My Height Art Shows (JMH) defies convention by displaying fine art at just 36 inches high, or about the eye level of a young child (waist-level for the average adult). With governments cutting back on arts funding and school districts slashing their arts education budgets, it’s critical that we find other ways to expose children to fine art in order to cultivate the art creators, collectors, and patrons of the future. JMH strives to do this with its innovative, yet simple, approach to hanging fine art shows.

For the show in March of 2017, the hosts will organize hands-on art activities for the children (and adults!) to enjoy, and, as has become a tradition at JMH events, a scavenger hunt will be developed based on the artwork in the show.
