National YoungArts Week

National YoungArts Week is an intensive program for competition finalists to collaborate with peers across 10 disciplines, develop their craft with internationally recognized leaders in their fields and create lifelong connections.

Participants engage in classes and interdisciplinary workshops with acclaimed artists and are eligible for financial awards of up to $10,000, as well as nomination as U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts. During the week-long intensive, audiences are invited to meet the next generation of artists in a series of public showcases, and through the publication of the Anthology + Catalogue.

YoungArts’ mantra is that this experience will change your life. When I first saw this, I doubted that one week would have such an impact. Boy, was I wrong!
