These young artists are now ready to unleash their dazzling skills, performances, readings, and exhibitions on the public.
Week two of National YoungArts Week + goes down January 25-30, with a nightly string of online events. The events are free and open to the public and include showcases in jazz, theater, dance, film, writing, visual arts, and seemingly everything in between.
Notably, things kick off on Monday, January 25, with a virtual celebration hosted by singer and YoungArts alum Josh Groban and the world premiere of YoungArts’ short film,
Together. (The full schedule of events is available on youngarts.org.)
“We started really knowing early this summer that we’d need to make this shift online, so we’ve been planning,” says Rebekah Lanae Lengel, senior director of artistic programs at the National YoungArts Foundation. “Fortunately, we have a number of people involved in higher education with the organization — familiar with COVID-era setups — and made the investments needed to ensure our participants would have what they need.”
