Attendees look at student artwork during the 2022 Washougal Youth Arts Month gallery exhibit at Washougal High School on Wednesday, March 23, 2022. The exhibit served as the culmination of Washougal Youth Arts Month (WYAM), created in 2019 by the Washougal School District, the Washougal Arts and Culture Alliance (WACA), the Washougal Schools Foundation and the city of Washougal. "The Washougal Arts and Culture Alliance has a wonderful partnership with our schools and have funded and helped facilitate a number of student-created public art pieces," WACA board member Rene Carroll said. "But our favorite collaboration is WYAM and the gallery specifically.  The level of talent these young artists exhibit is impressive. It is wonderful to help share this work with the community and give students recognition for their efforts." The gallery featured artwork in a variety of forms, including multimedia, watercolor, clay, video, photography, metal and wood, as well as a loom for visitors to create fabric art for a community weaving project. The student-operated Panthers' Cafe served entrees on Wednesday, March 23, and appetizers on Saturday, March 26, and Washougal High School choir students Lily Barrett and Megan West sang one song each on the final day of the event.

After familiarizing themselves with what GOTR had to offer, however, they discovered it’s more than just a running program — much more.
