The 2023-2024 program year is the first year that Art Encounters has a Kid’s Choice Award available for voting. The Art Encounters Public Art Advisory Committee members encourage kids to vote for their favorite sculpture and hopefully art teachers will encourage students to vote as well. This award replaces the previous Judge’s Choice Award.
