Peachtree City Library Hosts
3rd Annual Junior Art Show
Leah Banks
Investigative Reporter

PEACHTREE CITY -
As children and teens con
tinue to grow, their creativ
ity and imaginations often
are peaked in multiple
ways and through multiple
mediums. For the month
of February, Peachtree City
Public Library host its
third annual Junior Art
Show in celebration of
Youth Art Month.
This year’s show fol
lows the theme, “Be Kind,”
which coincides with the
upcoming summer 2023
reading program theme,
“2023: All Together Now:
Todos Juntos Ahora -
Kindnes s/ Friendship/ Unit
y,” according to Cherese
Cadet, adult services li
brarian at Peachtree City
Library.
Junior artists between
the ages of one and 13 are
welcomed to “let their art
work shine” in mediums of
drawing, sketch, coloring,
or painting, but partici
pants must pick up an art
template at the circulation
desk of PTC Library or
print one from the calen
dar link for the event,
available online.
Artwork for the event
will be displayed in the
Storytime window in the
children’s department
through March 2023 and
each artist that participates
will receive a treat for par
ticipation, according to the
event website.
Cadet says she views
the celebration of Youth
Art Month as one that is
intended to bring unity
and connectivity for chil
dren of all ages, especially
since the show began dur
ing the pandemic, in a vir
tual capacity.
“In 2020, when Peach
tree City Library was
closed to the public for sev
eral weeks due to the pan
demic, I was looking for a
way to engage the com
munity without having a
large group gather to
gether. I saw on the Pro
gramming Librarian
website that another li
brary had hosted a virtual
art show, so I decided to
try it here. I saw that
March was Youth Art
Month and planned to host
it then. I sent out a request
for submissions and
posted the submissions on
a slide show that others
could view from home,”
Cadet said.
While the qualifications
are posted on the city’s
event calendar, Cadet re
iterates the importance of
the mediums used, as well
