Teachers and parents may submit student art work for display in the Art Junction gallery. In which case, we ask for the name and age (or grade) of the child as well as school or city residence information. We collect this information only when work is submitted and only for the purpose of acknowledging the child's work if it is displayed. Only the child's first name will be used to identify his or her work in the gallery. Before a child's work is submitted for display, the teacher must obtain written permission from the child's parent to do so.

Photographs of individual students cannot be posted on the Art Junction website, or be associated by name, unless parental permission is received beforehand. Group photographs can be posted only when individual students in the photograph are not identified by name.
