Young Audiences is the region’s leading source of varied arts in education services and programs.  For more than 50 years this organization has used the arts to engage young people, develop problem solving and creative thinking skills, and increase academic achievement.  Young Audiences relies on the support of foundations, individuals and corporations that share our heartfelt commitment to improving the lives and educational opportunities for every child.

From Young Audiences of Oregon and SW Washington

Young Audiences of Oregon was founded in 1958 as a local chapter of the nation’s largest arts-in-education organization. In 1989, the Portland-based organization merged with a smaller chapter in Vancouver to become Young Audiences of Oregon & SW Washington. We have steadily grown in scope and programming, evolving from presenting only classical music performances in our early years to currently offering a full range of educational arts programming in multiple disciplines and cultures – the only arts organization in the region to do so.
