HELP US REVOLUTIONIZE THE LIVES OF AMERICA’S ASPIRING YOUNG ARTISTS
Created to ensure the future of American art by identifying and nurturing exceptionally gifted high school seniors, YoungArts is the
only organization in the United States that provides a variety of programs and monetary awards to support students in
all art disciplines.
Your contribution to YoungArts helps us create experiences for students that last a lifetime – moving America’s most talented young artists a little closer to their dream.
“YoungArts
Week has restored a hope and enthusiasm in my life—as a teenager, as an artist and as an activist constantly seeking intellectual and empathetic company. It is an honor to be surrounded by such passionate, amazing and dedicated artists across disciplines. I feel wonderful about my future and the future of the artistic world after attending YoungArts Week.”
~Cathryn A. Garcia-Menocal, 2008 YoungArts Gold Award Winner in Visual Arts, New World School of the Arts, Miami, Florida
A non-profit, YoungArts relies greatly on the contributions of generous individuals, corporations, foundations and philanthropic institutions. Only 5% of YoungArts’ resources come from government funding. We welcome and are grateful for contributions of all sizes.
“YoungArts is all about recognizing the extraordinary talents we all have and celebrating them.”
~Katie Martello, 2008 YoungArts Winner in Visual Arts, Hereford High School, Parkton, Maryland
