Young Arts Arizona Ltd. serves challenged children through the arts. Via art workshops and curricula, children who are sick, disabled, orphaned, abused, detained are able to creatively release fear, anger, frustration, grief, and anxiety. Making art helps kids heal, rehabilitate, and feel good about themselves. It normalizes their world.
Uniquely, Young Arts exhibits children’s art in public buildings. Through public exhibition the children are taken seriously and can be proud of their accomplishments that are widely visible. Art is made accessible to the Arizona community by being shown in buildings not designed to be galleries. Over one million people see our children’s art in more than 100 exhibits every year!
Young Arts holds art workshops in 4 medical facilities, and collaborates with 49 schools, 3 school districts, 35 social agencies, and 38 gallery venues. We serve over 5000 children per year.
