Mission
Young Audiences transforms the lives and education of our youth through the arts by connecting educators, professional artists, and communities. We provide artistically-excellent programs, expertise, and resources to ensure opportunities for all students across the state of Maryland.
We strive to:
- Bring more arts into Maryland schools by tapping into the talent of the artists living in our communities.
- Train teachers of all subject areas to use the arts to engage students in the learning process through arts integration.
- Ensure disadvantaged schools have more access to the arts by covering the financial gap between what schools can afford and what artists need to earn.
