We need artists to inspire, transform and heal our communities. We need them to challenge us as a society, to develop new language, and to bring us together in empathy and in humanity.
YoungArts introduces Together, a virtual fundraising campaign that affirms our vision to empower artists to pursue a life in the arts. Join us on this season-long journey with commissioned artwork, film, dance and so much more featuring artists across the visual, performing and literary arts.
YoungArts at Home
A curated box of artistic objects, YoungArts at Home is inspired by the artists bringing us together in moments of imagination and community. Each of its contents is created or produced by a YoungArts award winner, and includes a mask by Lizette Avineri (2007 YoungArts Winner in Visual Arts), a puzzle with artwork by Ameya Okamoto (2018 YoungArts Winner in Visual Arts & U.S Presidential Scholar in the Arts), postcards by Jordan Tiberio (2011 YoungArts Winner in Photography) and a box designed with the artwork of Catherine Labarca (2016 YoungArts Winner in Visual Arts).
YoungArts at Home is now available as a gift with donations of $1,000 and above while quantities last.
Together, a short film
YoungArts is commissioning a short animation illustrated by YoungArts alumni, mentors and notable guest artists. Each digital frame represents a unique work of art that will be available for purchase to support YoungArts.
