About Young Audiences and the Arts Council of Kern
   Young Audiences (YA) is the nation’s leading arts in education organization which brings the arts to millions of young people in schools and community centers each year. We at the Arts Council of Kern (ACK) have been providing arts in education programs for over 30 years. When we became the 31st Young Audience affiliate in 2009, we took on the responsibility to provide more YA-based services throughout Kern County.

Our Young Audiences Artists
   YA artists are committed professionals who combine a passion for their art form with the ability to educate young people and help them not only to experience the art form, but also to understand it. In this process the students develop their creativity, which enables them to connect to other academic areas and life skills. Consistent with YA-proven principles, our artists and programs emphasize creative development rather than rote learning or memorization.

   All our programs meet the criteria in the California State Framework for Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA).
