Kids need the arts in their lives to reach their full potential. For nearly 60 years, Young Audiences of Oregon & SW Washington has been committed to meeting that need in our region. Young Audiences is dedicated to inspiring young people with meaningful, high-quality arts experiences. We serve more than 72,000 students in Oregon & SW Washington each and every year. The cornerstone of our organization is our carefully curated roster of more than 70 top-tier professional teaching artists who deliver engaging, educationally aligned performances, classroom residencies, and workshops in a wide variety of artistic mediums. We consistently engage with teaching artists to improve their teaching skills and we work collaboratively with classroom teachers to help them incorporate the arts into their teaching practice. In short, we bring artists and teachers together to better serve students. And we make it fun.
