National Young Audiences Arts for Learning Week (YA Week) is a time to celebrate the national YA network of affiliates and show support for arts-in-education! For 65 years, Young Audiences/Arts for Learning Maryland has worked to transform the lives and education of Maryland students through the arts. The national Young Audiences network of 30 affiliates was founded in Baltimore in 1950, and reached 5 million children last year alone. In Maryland, Young Audiences served nearly 170,000 students at 450 schools and community organizations throughout all 24 school districts during fiscal year 2013-2014.

Help us celebrate National YA Week here in Maryland by showing your support of Young Audiences and the power of the arts throughout YA Week. There are lots of ways you can get involved–join us!
