For 60 years Arts for Learning WNY (formerly Young Audiences of WNY) has been the leading arts education organization in Western New York seeking innovative, equitable, and inclusive ways to infuse the arts into learning. We provide critical arts-integrated learning, an essential key in the development of a young person. The impact? Boosted Self-confidence. Improved academic improvements. Increased communication and collaboration. A healthier and more inspiring society for everyone. We are committed to empowering local artists to teach and inspire young people and educators through new and meaningful creative arts experiences. Our roster of Teaching Artists engage youth in music, dance, theatre, media, visual and literary arts – all areas that have historically been removed from school curriculum due to budgetary constraints. These arts-integrated programs cultivate children’s imaginations to help develop physical, emotional, and academic capabilities for a foundation of life-long success.
