YoungArts Miami is one of three regional programs modeled
after our national YoungArts Week. All of our programs provide
us with the opportunity to further showcase and nurture the
talents of our young winners. This year’s program offers close to
100 students intense master classes and workshops with renowned
artists, and the opportunity to share their creativity with the public
through performances, readings, exhibitions and screenings.
WE LCOM E TO YOU NGARTS MIAMI
The National YoungArts Foundation is celebrating its 35th Anniversary.
That means 35 years of identifying and nurturing the most accomplished
young artists in the visual, literary, design and performing arts. The
YoungArts Miami regional program promises to be a transformative
experience for those who participate in our classes, workshops and
performances, and for audience members as well. We are tremendously
proud of our YoungArts winners. Their hard work, dedication and
talent has inspired us and taught us what it means to be a true artist.
These artists are among the nation’s most talented artists, ages 15-18,
who were selected through a blind adjudication process as the 2016
YoungArts Winners. These artists are already so accomplished that
you will have a hard time remembering that they are just beginning
their careers. By all means, they are the artistic voices of the future.
Be on the look-out for future YoungArts programs featuring our YoungArts
Winners past and present. On our campus in Miami, we host an intimate
Salon Series, sponsored by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation,
featuring our alumni and master teachers; a public performance series on
the YoungArts Plaza, Outside the Box; and much more. We look forward
to our next regional program, YoungArts New York, to be held April 12-17.
Our season concludes in Washington, D.C. when twenty YoungArts Winners
will be named U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts, and will show their
work at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on June 20.
Thank you for supporting the next generation of artists with your
attendance, applause and contributions. I also want to extend a
special thank you to the parents, teachers and schools who have
nurtured these young talents throughout the years. Without
you, they would not be selected and featured by us today.
Sincerely,
Richard Kohan
Chair, Board of Trustees

YoungArts’ signature program is an application-based award for emerging
artists ages 15–18 or in grades 10–12 from across the United States. Selected
from a pool of more than an average of 11,000 applications (in 2015, the
organization received a record-breaking number of more than 12,000
applications), YoungArts Winners receive valuable support, including
financial awards of up to $10,000, professional development and educational
experiences working with renowned mentors—such as Mikhail Baryshnikov,
Sarah Brightman, Plácido Domingo, Frank Gehry, Jeff Koons, Wynton Marsalis,
Rebecca Walker and Carrie Mae Weems—and performance and exhibition
opportunities at some of the nation’s leading cultural institutions, including
the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (Washington, D.C.), The
Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), The Museum of Modern Art (New
York) and New World Center (Miami). Additionally, YoungArts Winners are
eligible for nomination as a U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts, one of the
nation’s highest honors for high school students who exemplify academic and
artistic excellence.

YO U N GA RT S FO U N DATI O N
The National YoungArts Foundation (YoungArts) was established in 1981 by
Lin and Ted Arison to identify and nurture the most accomplished young
artists in the visual, literary, design and performing arts, and assist them at
critical junctures in their educational and professional development. Through
a wide range of annual programs, regular performances and partnerships
with some of the nation’s leading cultural institutions, YoungArts aspires
to create a strong community of alumni and a platform for a lifetime of
encouragement, opportunity and support.
YoungArts Winners also become part of a thousands-strong alumni
network of artists, which offers them additional professional opportunities
throughout their careers. YoungArts alumni who have gone on to become
leaders in their fields include actresses Viola Davis, Anna Gunn, Zuzanna
Szadkowski and Kerry Washington; Broadway stars Raúl Esparza, Billy Porter,
Andrew Rannells and Tony Yazbeck; recording artists Josh Groban, Judith Hill
and Chris Young; Metropolitan Opera star Eric Owens; musicians Terence
Blanchard, Gerald Clayton and Jennifer Koh; choreographers Camille A.
Brown and Desmond Richardson; visual artists Daniel Arsham and Hernan Bas;
internationally acclaimed multimedia artist Doug Aitken; television writer,
producer, and director Jenji Kohan; New York Times bestselling author Sam
Lipsyte; and Academy Award-winning filmmaker Doug Blush.

YoungArts Miami engages YoungArts Winners from all award levels—Finalist,
Honorable Mention and Merit—and exposes local audiences to emerging
artists in their community. Along with regional programs in New York and Los
Angeles, YoungArts Miami provides a platform for participants to connect,
collaborate and learn from their peers, distinguished YoungArts alumni,
and luminaries such as Vijay Gupta, Neil Patrick Harris, Christian Hebel,
Joan Scheckel, Sylvia Plachy and Franklin Sirmans. In addition, participants
showcase their talents through public performances, exhibitions and readings
at world-class arts institutions to further prepare them for the next stage of
their careers.
ABOUT YOU NGARTS MIAMI
Modeled after National YoungArts Week, the organization’s signature
program held annually in Miami, YoungArts Miami is one of three regional
programs that offer life-changing experiences, guidance and support to
YoungArts Winners nationwide through interdisciplinary workshops, seminars
and master classes with renowned leaders in their fields. This year, 819
emerging artists (ages 15-18 or in grades 10-12) from 42 states were selected
as YoungArts Winners for their outstanding work and accomplishments
across the literary, visual, design and performing arts from more than 12,000
applications—the largest number to date.
This year in Miami, the exhibition curated by Diana Nawi; jazz, writers’
readings and film screenings co-directed by YoungArts alumnus Emmet
Cohen, Joan Morgan, Rich Guay, and Nancy Savoca; and performances
directed by celebrated director, choreographer, movement coach and
YoungArts alumna Jen Waldman and choreographer, director, multimedia
artist and YoungArts alumna Yara Travieso, take place at the YoungArts
Campus and the Colony Theatre.

We believe in the arts, our youth and their dreams. The encouragement
of our young artists is an investment in a future rich in culture. Your
contribution to the National YoungArts Foundation helps us create
experiences for students that last a lifetime – moving the nation’s
most talented young artists a little closer to their dreams. Over the
last 35 years, more than 20,000 young artists have benefited from the
opportunities that were given to them through YoungArts’ programs.
We are proud of our role as a springboard to vibrant artistic careers. Our
alumni have gone on to distinguished careers in their fields, becoming
principal dancers in major companies, members of prominent orchestras
and recognizable faces on stage and screen. Their books are on The
New York Times Best Seller list, their artwork hangs in the world’s most
distinguished museums and they have received Oscar, Emmy, Grammy,
and Tony award nominations and awards.
CHANGING A LIFE IS LIFE-CHANGING
Supporting YoungArts with a contribution is an investment in the next
generation of artists.
YoungArts programs rely on the contributions of generous corporations,
foundations and individuals like you!
There are many ways to support these artists, but they all start with you
taking action.
Donating to our annual fund is a notable way to make a difference and
get more involved. YoungArts offers access to future masters in the
visual, literary, design and performing arts, and exposure to a passionate
group of people interested in sustaining artistic culture. It’s a way for you
to stay connected to the variety of innovative programs, education and
outreach, interdisciplinary workshops and community happenings that
we offer each season in Miami, New York and Los Angeles.
We invite you to discuss how you can become more involved in
supporting YoungArts, our artists and our programs.
