Welcome!

At Young Audiences of Northern California we bring professional artists into Bay Area schools to work with students, K-12.  We believe that the arts are a powerful, mind-transforming educational tool that every child deserves to have in school.

We work with 74 world-class visual, literary, and performing artists who are also experts at reaching young people through their art.  Our artists teach through breath-taking assembly performances and long-term, hands-on residencies.  

We have been in the Bay Area since 1958 and our work gets more exciting every year.  Last year we reached 81,000 students throughout the Bay Area.
