Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez (D-N.Y.) has introduced a resolution advocating for the period of April 13-26 to be recognized as National Young Audiences Arts for Learning Week. This initiative aims to celebrate and underscore the importance of arts education in youth development. Velázquez emphasizes the transformative power of arts in student learning, calling for increased advocacy for such programs in schools. The observance, which traces its roots back to 1971 initiated by Leonard Bernstein, has evolved into a two-week celebration, marking the 73rd anniversary of Young Audiences Arts for Learning and promoting creativity in education.
During National Young Audiences Arts of Learning Week, we recognize the incredible power and inspirations that the arts' has on our young people across the country.
This is an important moment in Young Audiences' history because not only are we celebrating our 73rd anniversary, but we continue to promote the role that creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurism plays through initiatives such as the National YA Week.
