with the arts

YOUNG AUDIENCES NEW YORK

ART FOR ALL CHILDREN GALA

At Young Audiences New York, art ignites the creativity of children, young people, and families. Now in our 72nd year, we use art-making to encourage social-emotional growth, build 21st century skills, and strengthen community connections throughout New York City.
