Register for Doodle 4 Google by March 24
Doodle 4 Google is a competition for U.S. K-12 students to work their  
artistic will upon Google's homepage logo around the theme, "If I  
Could Do Anything, I Would ..."

This year, a group of well-known illustrators, cartoonists and  
animators from organizations like The Sesame Street Workshop, Dr.  
Seuss Enterprises, Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates and Peanuts  
and Pixar Animation Studios, will be helping select the 40 finalist  
doodles.  The national winner will receive a $15,000 college  
scholarship.

Teachers must register their schools by March 24, and submit artists'  
pieces by March 31.


Artemya teacher submissions due Friday
The Western Michigan University Frostic School of Art proudly welcomes  
submissions from 2D and 3D artists who reside in Michigan and teach  
art. Artemya is an acronym for Art Representing (K-12) Teachers  
Educating Michigan's Young Artists and was conceived as a way to  
celebrate and honor the teachers who prepare their students to study  
art at the college level.

Applicants must be current full-time or part-time art teachers  
teaching grades K-12 working at any school in Michigan.  Submissions  
must be emailed by Friday, May 19.  Winning pieces will be exhibited  
during the Michigan Youth Arts Festival, with an opening reception May  
14.

For application guidelines contact Bill Davis at  
william.davis at wmich.edu.

New York City beckons
If you're going to the 2010 Festival, or are a Festival alum, you are  
invited to Arts Trek to New York City, July 26-30.

Arts Trek is a travel tour for people with a passion for the arts. It  
allows participants to explore a new city and experience its artistic  
culture first-hand, through tours and performances, but also workshops  
and behind-the-scenes access rarely afforded the casual tourist.    
Participation in Arts Trek 2010 is limited to the first 40 Festival  
alums (students, parents or teachers) who sign up.  Download a flyer  
with a complete itinerary, here.  And register today!
