We’re excited to share that the 2024–25 YoungArts Annual Report is now live! This year’s report celebrates a season of remarkable growth, innovation and impact—all made possible by the generosity of supporters like you.
During the 2024–25 season, YoungArts received a record-breaking 10,967 applications from young artists across the country. From this talented pool, 811 artists were selected for national recognition, joining a community of more than 23,000 YoungArts award winners, each of whom has access to a lifetime of support through YoungArts. We are also proud to have directly engaged more than 3,000 artists and distributed nearly $3 million to them in awarded funds or fees for service over the course of the year.
Looking ahead, we’re continuing to see powerful momentum: nearly 13,000 applications were submitted to YoungArts’ national arts competition this year—another new record. This surge in interest reflects a growing need: young creatives are seeking validation, community and support at a time when the arts are increasingly underfunded.
For many, YoungArts is the first organization to recognize their potential and invest in their future. Thank you for being part of this community. Your support ensures that young artists are seen, heard and empowered to thrive.
