Hours

To support and protect our visitors, staff and community, the YoungArts Campus is temporarily closed and staff will continue to work remotely until further notice due to increasing health concerns with the novel coronavirus. We join other cultural institutions across the city and country in taking an abundance of caution to ensure a safe and healthy environment. We look forward to welcoming visitors back soon.

YoungArts' hours of operation are Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5:30 PM Eastern Time. You can reach us during these hours at (305) 377-1140 or via fax at (305) 377-1149. You can also reach us on our toll-free number at 1 (800)970-ARTS (2787).
