National YoungArts Week has added a big ol plus at the end of its name for 2021.
Why the plus? Well, while “week” may be in its name, this year’s event has been split and expanded into two weeks.
The first week an intensive program chock-full of educational and interactive opportunities for top-notch, budding artists looking to hone their respective crafts is in the books. That went down January 3-9.
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.

The worldwide pandemic loomed over New Ulm just as it did over the rest of the world. It has changed the way people work, the way they recreate, the way they celebrate holidays and family milestones and the way they send their kids to school. It has affected almost every aspect of people’s lives.
