About the organization

YoungArts is a national foundation dedicated to identifying and nurturing the most promising young artists across the United States. Established in 1981, it provides a comprehensive system of support that begins with the National Arts Competition and extends through fellowships, residencies, and professional development opportunities. The organization's ethos is rooted in the belief that artistic excellence deserves recognition and that early-career artists benefit from mentorship, community, and financial resources to pursue their craft. By fostering a network of alumni that includes some of today's most celebrated performers, writers, and visual artists, YoungArts has become a pivotal stepping stone for emerging talent.

Application guidance

Applicants should approach the National Arts Competition with a polished and authentic portfolio that demonstrates technical skill, original voice, and a clear artistic vision. The review process is highly competitive, so careful attention to the specific discipline requirements and deadlines is essential. YoungArts values risk-taking and emotional honesty, so artists are encouraged to submit work that feels personally significant rather than merely trend-driven. Early preparation and multiple rounds of feedback from mentors can strengthen the application. Additionally, applicants should be aware that the competition is open to high school students in grades 10-12, and that finalists are invited to participate in National YoungArts Week, a transformative experience that includes master classes and performances.
