Template:Short description Template:Multiple issues

YoungArts (previously National YoungArts Foundation and National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts, or NFAA) is an American charity established in 1981 by Lin and Ted Arison to help nurture emerging high-school artists. The foundation is based in Miami, Florida. In 1981, Ted Arison gave $5 million to launch the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts.

YoungArts is noted as the most difficult and most prestigious literary, performing, and visual arts competition for high school students. If selected, it is an incredible testament to prodigious talent in the field. Approximately 6% are selected as Winners, with the top 1% selected as Winners with Distinction. Winners with Distinction are invited to compete for the Lin Arison Excellence in Writing Award (a $50,000 writing scholarship, only for writing winners), cash prizes of up to $10,000, and more. They are invited to National YoungArts Week, an all-expenses-paid experience in Miami, Florida.[1][2]

YoungArts nominates up to 60 candidates for consideration as U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts following participation in YoungArts week.

YoungArts disciplines

The YoungArts application consists of the following ten disciplines across the visual, literary, design and performing arts:

  • Classical Music – composition and instrumental[3]
  • Dance – ballet, choreography, hip hop, jazz, modern, tap, and world dance forms[4]
  • Design Arts - architecture, interior, product, graphic, fashion and theater design[5]
  • Film – narrative, documentary, experimental, and animation[6]
  • Jazz – composers and instrumentalists[7]
  • Photography[8]
  • Theater – musical, classical and contemporary spoken theater[9]
  • Visual Arts - paintings, portraits, landscapes, artworks, drawings, murals, artistic inventions and art projects[10]
  • Voice – classical, jazz, popular and singer/songwriter[11]
  • Writing – creative non-fiction, novel, play or script, poetry, short story, spoken word[12]

Other programs and activities

Several documentaries have been produced highlighting this unique program and its award recipients. Most notably, Rehearsing a Dream, produced by the Simon and Goodman Picture Company, was nominated for the Academy Award for Documentary Short Subject. A documentary television series entitled YoungArts MasterClass, in which program alumni are teamed with famous mentors, is in its second season on HBO. YoungArts has developed a study guide, based on the HBO series, for high school teachers with Teachers College, Columbia University.[13]

Notable alumni

Alumni opportunities

Every YoungArts winner becomes a part of the YoungArts alumni community, an artistic family of more than 20,000 alumni. YoungArts makes open calls to alumni to provide opportunities and inclusion in its programming and events.[21]

Budget

YoungArts has an endowment of $42 million. Its $6 million annual budget is expected to increase as much as 40 percent as its operating expenses grow.[13]
