UnderAGE is
an anthology of poems, prose, and artwork produced by children in grades
K through 12 published annually by the Arts Council of Princeton.
Students throughout central New Jersey contribute to the publication.
Through grants and donations the publication is made possible. UnderAGE supports
local literacy efforts by stimulating students to gain a better grasp
of language and express themselves more confidently and creatively
in their writing and in a public forum. It also encourages students
in the visual arts by providing them an opportunity to focus their
talent, creativity, and ingenuity. The Arts Council is currently celebrating
21 years of publishing UnderAGE!
To acquire a copy of UnderAGE please contact Maria
