SAN BERNARDINO - More than 50 San Bernardino County students will exhibit their work at the 12th annual Young Artists' Gallery, which will run from April 20 to May 1 at California State University, San Bernardino.

The Young Artists' Gallery is a countywide student exhibit featuring works that have been selected through a jury process. The exhibition is the only countywide visual arts show designed to highlight students who are enrolled in a visual arts education course.

"Studies show us that arts education provides a strong foundation for students' academic achievements," County Superintendent Gary Thomas said. "Schools that are able to provide enriching arts curriculum see the payoff in engaged students who flourish across their subject areas. I would encourage all schools and districts to provide opportunities for all students to study the arts, so that they can follow a path toward a well-rounded education."

The exhibit is at the Robert V. Fullerton Museum in the Dutton Gallery on the Cal State San Bernardino campus. The hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The museum is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

The Young Artists' Gallery is a program of the Arts Education Network, a collaboration of the Riverside, Inyo, Mono, and San Bernardino (RIMS) California Arts Project and the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools.
