Young Audiences, Inc.

2009 Annual Report

} THE MISSION
Young Audiences Arts for Learning is the nation’s leading source of arts-in-education services.
The purpose of the national Young Audiences organization is to help the broad network of Young
Audiences affiliates play a decisive role in all young people’s education and development.
Young Audiences envisions a future in which the nation’s children and youth will have the
opportunity to engage in quality arts learning experiences that nurture creativity, build cultural
understanding and enhance the development of their learning and life skills.

blood of our country and economy.
Teamwork and collaboration. In a
wired world in which there is too
much information for anyone to know
it all, being able to harness one’s
knowledge with that of others, here
and around the globe, is critically
important.
Higher order thinking and sound
reasoning. The SCANS report from
the U.S. Department of Labor calls
for PreK-12 curricula that foster higher
order thinking and sound reasoning,
i.e., “thinking creatively, making
decisions, solving problems, seeing
things in the mind’s eye, knowing how
to learn and reasoning.”
Hands-on creation. Researchers are
finding learning benefits for students
who do, who build authentic products
with tools — whether they be sand
castles, computer programs, docu-
ments, graphs, LEGO constructions
or musical compositions.
Productivity. Studies show that most
current testing does not measure
students for productivity, yet it is
precisely high productivity that
correlates most strongly with
workplace success.**
Throughout Young Audiences’ nearly six-decade evolution,
we have been early to recognize that experiencing the
arts lays an indispensable foundation for students to
organically acquire crucial life skills and habits of mind.
That essential foundation is engagement, sometimes
called motivation. Education and business experts
Christensen, Horn and Johnson have written:
“Motivation is the catalyzing ingredient for every
successful innovation. The same is true for learning.”
Independent evaluations of Young Audiences programs
have shown that nothing engages the heart, mind and en-
thusiasm of students like the experience of art. Programs
like Arts for Learning Lessons, which combine hands-on
arts activities with the latest advances in learning science,
emphatically corroborate this.
The national education research organization WestEd
affirms that Arts for Learning Lessons’ (A4L) benefits
4 5
to students in the development of literacy and 21st cen-
tury skills are observable and convincing. A4L engages
students at unusually high levels, across diverse popula-
tions, providing not only unusually strong arts instruction,
but also teaching and learning strategies that teachers and
students are transferring beyond the program itself. Thou-
sands of student exposures to A4L through Young Audi-
ences affiliates in Indiana, Louisiana, Miami, NE Ohio, NE
Texas, Oregon, Rochester, St. Louis and Virginia all confirm
these outcomes.
Likewise, the MetLife Dance for Life initiative is a prime
example of a program that employs a physical art – dance –
not only to inspire young people to experience the joy
of art, but also to teach children the importance of
physical fitness. Seventeen Young Audiences affiliates
completed the program this year, bringing the total to
20,000 students who have participated in it over
the past four years.
 Now, with Young Audiences’ first system-wide strategic
plan, developed in conjunction with Boston consulting
firm TDC, the network is renewing and enhancing its
mission to include the inculcation of learning and life skills.
To that end, we are working to reinforce our historic com-
mitment to providing workshops, performance demon-
strations, residencies and professional development of
the highest quality by incorporating into them four
signature elements: experiencing art, understanding art,
creating art and connecting art to other learning.
We are also putting increased emphasis on creating pro-
grams that are even more student-centered, outcome-
oriented and, most importantly, backed by protocols that
rigorously measure effectiveness in producing results.
And we are organizing ourselves to take greater and more
systematic advantage of the relationships among affiliates
and between affiliates and the national organization.
The implementation of the new Young Audiences net-
work strategic plan coincides with a transition in leader-
ship: after 37 years, Richard Bell will be retiring as the
National Executive Director of Young Audiences Arts for
Learning in 2010. In addition, new trustees will be joining
the board. The current National board and staff have
brought us to this transformative moment. Those who are
leaving take with them our thanks and the certainty that
our mission — to make a tangible difference in the lives of
our young people through experience of the arts — will be
stronger than ever.

residency program reached
500 public school kinder-
garten students in Early
Intervention, English as a

eral education classrooms.
This program is defined by
the teaching artist’s atten-
tion to pre-literacy skills, and
the teacher’s participation in
planning, reflection, docu-
mentation and professional
development. Research by
the Indiana University
School of Education shows
the program has a positive
impact on the level of
student engagement and
enthusiasm for learning.
Kansas City
Our Community School of
the Arts had record enroll-
ments this year: 751 enroll-
ments in group classes, 381
in private instruction and 410
in our Summer Camps. The
Arts Partners program ex-
panded to include the Cen-
ter School District, reaching
an additional 4,000 stu-
dents. ArtReach After-

presented 5,742 children
with interactive arts experi-
ences in 38 after-school
programs, enriching the
quality of their lives outside
of school time.
Kern County, CA
Young Audiences of Kern
County has merged with The
Arts Council of Kern. As a
program of The Arts Council
of Kern, we will now be
known as Young Audiences,
Arts for Learning. In this
new capacity, we will con-
tinue to provide arts-in-edu-
cation programs for
schoolchildren as well as
new residency programs
for teaching artists.

Louisiana
We were privileged to host
the 2009 YA National con-
ference in New Orleans this
April. Our after school pro-
grams, funded by 21st Cen-
tury Communities Learning
Centers (CCLC), reached
nearly 3,000 children. Our
new partnership with Dillard
University brought college-
level choral and piano in-
struction to O. Perry Walker
High School. Thanks to a
generous grant from the
Wallace Foundation, we
expanded our free smART
summer camps from
four to six weeks.
Maryland
We reached 200,000 stu-
dents through assemblies,
workshops, and residencies.
Thanks to support from the
Dana Foundation and the
National Endowment for the
Arts, we expanded the work
of our Teaching Artist Insti-
tute and partnered with
Anne Arundel County public
schools (AACPS) to offer an
institute on building 21st
century schools through the
arts. Seventy AACPS educa-
tors, 22 teaching artists, and
21 educators from Missis-
sippi; Alabama; and Milan,
Italy worked together to
write their own arts-inte-
grated lesson plans.
Massachusetts
We presented 1,500 per-
formances, workshops and
teaching artist residencies for
schools and after-school pro-
grams in over 200 communi-
ties. Our teaching artists also
offered longer-term arts resi-
dencies in five urban public
schools, including the Gard-
ner Pilot Academy. We con-
tinued the Healing Arts for
Kids project bringing arts-in-
education programs to chil-
dren in six area hospitals and
medical facilities.
Minnesota
We reached 69,000 Min-
nesotans with 212 perform-
ances, 267 workshops, 951
residencies and nine profes-
sional development ses-
sions. Forty-six classes in
the Hopkins schools partici-
pated in the MetLife Dance
for Life residencies. The

two Saint Paul schools par-
ticipated in Milkweed Edi-
tions’ partnership program
Read, Explore, Create.
In July, YA of Minnesota
merged with COMPAS,
creating one of the most
far-reaching arts education
organizations in the state.
New Jersey
We presented 4,000
programs to more than
400,000 students across
the state. We hosted a net-
work-wide Early Childhood
Summit in Princeton. Sev-
enty-five delegates attended
the conference and were in-
troduced to our signature
programs, Creative Begin-
nings© and Family Arts and
Creativity. Additionally, the
Geraldine R. Dodge Founda-
tion selected YANJ to de-
velop and pilot a sustainable
dance curriculum for 2nd,
4th and 6th graders in New
Jersey’s schools.
New York
Our programs touched
the lives of over 300,000
children and families in 180
schools and communities
throughout the five bor-
oughs of New York City. Our
partnerships with the Mu-
seum of Arts & Design,
Noguchi Museum and the
Sony Wonder Technology
Lab, provided children with
access to leading arts ex-
hibits and brought in-school
curriculum to life in a mean-
ingful and rich way. Thanks
to Target Corporation, we
expanded our successful
year-long family program,
FamilyLink.
North Texas, a Division of
Big Thought
We partnered with 100 arts,
cultural, and community
organizations to reach
300,000 children and fami-
lies while providing one
million hours of creative
learning instruction. We re-
ceived the 2009 Arts Educa-
tion Award from Americans
for the Arts for excellence in
program design, execution
and leadership. A grant from
the Texas Education Agency
helped us open free, after-
school programs in 20 Dallas
ISD middle and elementary
schools, providing students
with snacks, tutoring and
enrichment activities.
Northeast Ohio
We launched Art is Educa-
tion, a new whole-school
arts-integrated initiative, in
eight Cleveland Metropoli-
tan District K-8 schools and
received a fourth multi-year
grant from the Ford Founda-
tion. Arts for Learning Les-
sons residencies were
implemented at six elemen-
tary schools and advocacy-
oriented programming was
initiated in 12 Cuyahoga
County schools to increase
parental awareness of the
power of the arts in educa-
tion. Our Advisory board
member Deborah Ratner
received the National YA
Board Member of the
Year Award.
Northeast Texas
We completed the second
year of the Arts for Learning
Lessons project. Our
MetLife Dance for Life pro-
gram expanded to allow YA
artists to teach dance every
day of the school year to
economically-disadvantaged
students at two middle
schools. The Junior League
of Tyler was so impressed
with the success of this pro-
gram that it awarded us an
additional generous grant
for 2010.
Northern California
We serve students, teachers
and families throughout
Northern California, from
Monterey to Mendocino and
San Francisco to the Central
Valley. We continue to build
on our 50 year tradition of
partnering with schools and
community sites to offer ed-
ucationally-sound and artisti-
cally excellent programs. In
February, our successful
fund raising event at the
Reaves Gallery included
music by sitar player
Arjun Verma.
Oregon and SW
Washington
2009 marked our 50th an-
niversary. We celebrated at
our “50 at 50” Sunburst
Awards Luncheon recogniz-
ing 50 leaders in arts-in-edu-
cation at a party with Pink
Martini. Our artists reached
90,000 students in 223
schools and 39 school
districts with 319 perform-
ances and 5,369 residencies.
Over 22,700 students in 93
schools participated in our
annual Run for the Arts and
raised $675,481 for school
arts programs.
Rochester
Our 160 teaching artists
provided 819 performances,
2,232 workshops and 80 res-
idencies to 245,218 students
in 188 schools, covering 19
counties. Arts for Learning
Lessons residencies were
piloted in three new city
schools; Hope Hall, a school
for students with special
learning needs; and Genera-
tions, an after-school pro-
gram. A new partnership
with a community program,
Better Day Buddies, allowed
us to send four teaching
artists into the Treatment
Center of the Golisano
Children's Hospital.
San Diego
Our 129 professional artists
brought the arts to over
45,000 children. In partner-
ship with the San Diego
State Symphony Orchestra,
we presented two classical
music concerts for 600
underserved children. Our
annual fundraiser netted a
record $15,000, helped by
$7,200 in new corporate
sponsorships raised by
trustee Shawn Farrar. One
of our new promotional ini-
tiatives included month-long
photo exhibits of our pro-
grams at the County Admin-
istration Building and the
San Diego Public Library.
Santa Cruz County, AZ
Our “Art…the Missing Link to
Learning!” project included
assembly programs, work-
shops, multi-day artist resi-
dencies and outreach
programs for all of Santa
Cruz County pre-K—12th
grade students and educa-
tor professional develop-
ment workshops for
teachers. Over 200 middle
and high school string and
choir students participated
in the Electrify Your Strings
program with renowned
electric violinist Mark Wood.
The residency concluded
with a community concert
attended by more than
600 people.
Southeast Texas
Once again, our community
was hit with a major hurri-
cane and many schools were
damaged. Young Audiences
of Southeast Texas was able
to provide at least one pro-
gram at each of the affected
schools. Our Hot Art/Cool
Jazz event, which featured
local high school artists and
up and coming jazz musi-
cians, was a great success.
Springboard
We increased the number of
our Arts Partners sites and
piloted new residencies, in-
cluding The Way I see it: Fun
with Photography and Writ-
ing. In this residency, fifth
graders took self-portraits
with cameras and wrote
poetry about themselves.
Thanks to support from two
local foundations, we pro-
vided 15 free performances
to St. Louis Public Schools.
In April, we changed our
name to Springboard--three
years after Springboard
to Learning merged with
Young Audiences of
St. Louis.
Think 360 Arts Complete
Education
We hosted the 20th Aes-
thetic Education Institute of
Colorado (AEIC) on June 16-
24. This professional devel-
opment conference was
held at Denver University's
Ricks Center in partnership
with the Morgridge College
of Education. Sixty-eight
educators participated in
workshops with our artists
to learn how to integrate the
arts into school curriculum.
Our 65 artists worked in
97 schools in 15 counties,
reaching 78,000 students.
Virginia
In addition to launching pilot
projects to deliver Arts for
Learning Literacy Lessons in
Richmond, Roanoke and
Hampton Roads, we also
trained staff in early child-
hood and family engagement
programs developed by YA
of New Jersey. We held staff
and artist training for the

reading readiness programs
and Arts for Learning Les-
sons. We met our fund rais-
ing goals, increased our
earned income, and raised
over $70,000 for our endow-
ment fund.
Western New York
We provided long-term resi-
dencies to 98 City of Buffalo
schools. We sponsored the
Third Annual Arts Abilities
conference in collaboration
with Buffalo State College
and Starlight Studio. We
continued our partnership
with the Holley Central
School District, where we
reached every student with
arts programs—one of which
was the MetLife Dance for
Life residency with teaching
artist Elizabeth Clark.
Woodruff Arts Center
We responded to economic
challenges and a decline in
program requests by devel-
oping a new program sales
initiative. The plan included
several innovative strategies,
staff training and incentives.
The effort was a great suc-
cess: it resulted in increased
program bookings in new
communities and enabled
our artists to reach more
students with educational
arts experiences. In May, our
Mad Hatter fundraiser for
families with young children
received rave reviews.
