Youth in the Arts Initiative
The Youth in the Arts Initiative aimed to increase access and participation for those youth who may not otherwise have had the opportunity to become involved in the arts. A secondary goal was to support the growth and development of youth as artists, as individuals, as students and as participants in their communities through their involvement in high quality youth arts programs. Since the inception of the Initiative, 134 grants totaling about $2.4 million have been made benefitting 44 organizations.
