The National YoungArts Foundation is a nonprofit organization in the United States that supports young artists in various disciplines, including visual arts, music, dance, theater, and writing. Founded in 1981, it aims to identify and nurture talented individuals aged 15 to 18 through programs that provide mentorship, scholarships, and opportunities for professional development. Each year, YoungArts selects a group of exceptional young artists through a competitive application process. Selected artists receive guidance from established professionals in their fields and can participate in workshops, performances, and exhibitions. The foundation also connects these young talents with opportunities to further their careers in the arts.
