MISSION.

Our mission at Young Audiences New York (YANY) is to inspire young people and expand learning through the arts. Founded in 1952, we are part of the nation’s oldest and largest arts in education network, Young Audiences for Arts and Learning.

 

At YANY we want students to engage, explore, imagine and create. We provide innovative, interactive opportunities to students in the visual arts, music, dance, theater, and digital art. Our longstanding partnerships with schools and the communities they serve have transformed young people’s lives with programs that educate, inspire and empower.

ART CREATES OPPORTUNITY

Together We Make a Difference
 

YANY seeks to engage children in a 5 step art making process: Planning, Creating, Producing, Presenting and Reflecting. We believe creating art is deeply connected to expanding social networks, increasing self awareness and developing the life skills critical for success in school, work and life.
