Nationwide celebration, with events planned in Miami, New York and Los Angeles
YoungArts Awareness Day is a nationwide, one-day initiative to “keep arts alive,” by celebrating the hundreds of thousands of young artists across the country and encouraging them to pursue a career in the arts. This day also highlights our efforts to contribute to the cultural vitality of the nation by identifying and supporting the next generation of talented young artists in the visual, literary, design and performing arts.
YoungArts Awareness Day coincides with National Arts in Education Week, which takes place September 7-13, when the National Education Association celebrates, promotes and showcases the immense role arts education has in producing engaged, successful, college and career ready students.
Help #KeepArtsAlive on social media
Join us in spreading the word to “keep arts alive” on September 8. We are encouraging everyone who has a creative instinct to take part in this very important initiative by creating and sharing their own work, or artistic experiences at museums and concerts, via social media with the tags #keepartsalive, #youngarts and#youngartsawarenessday. For inspiration, a playlist highlighting the work of select YoungArts alumni will launch that day on Spotify.
