From January 6-11, 2025, YoungArts winners with distinction convened in Miami to collaborate with peers across 10 disciplines and develop their craft with internationally recognized leaders in their fields during National YoungArts Week.
175 YoungArts winners with distinction presented their work to the public in a series of performances, writers’ readings, an exhibition opening, and film screenings; and learned from notable guest artists such as ballerina Misty Copeland, dance artists Rashaun Mitchell and Silas Reiner, actress Lorna Courtney, multidisciplinary artist Brian Ellison, and National Bestselling Author and Filmmaker Abigail Hing Wen.
