Young Audiences uses the power of the arts to transform the lives and education of young people

Donate to Young AudiencesFor over 55 years our professional musicians, actors, dancers, writers and visual artists have thrilled and enlightened students in schools throughout Northeast Ohio. Last year Young Audiences provided nearly 6,200 programs to more than 244,000 children in 245 schools and organizations.

We can’t do it alone

Just as we cannot begin our work without incredible artists and enthusiastic educators, we need our donors to make Young Audiences programs a reality. We recognize and thank the 2010 - 2011 contributors who helped provide unparalleled opportunities for learning through the arts..
