... makes my spirit move.Iyen Palmer,

Careers in the Arts participant

dear friend,Thanks to an incredibly talented and passionate group of artists, staff, board members and supporters, 2006 was a remarkable year for Young Audiences and the people we serve. We provided 2, 175 arts experiences across the state a 50 % growth in outreach!

What these numbers mean is that more children in our state are having experiences like Iyen Palmer, a ninth grader who participated in an afterschool arts program we offer in Baltimore city:

At first I wasnt sure if I could drum, but the second day I was drumming, hollering and getting down. And now I feel that I can do anything. The drum makes my spirit move.

In 2006 we also changed our name. We are now Young Audiences Arts for Learning. This change makes what Young Audiences stands for and the nature of our work an essential part of our name.Arts for Learning! We believe together Young Audiences (who we are) and Arts For Learning (what we do) is a perfect combination as we move into the future, helping schools harness the power of the arts to better meet the educational and social needs of our youth.

This future, thanks to our partners and supporters, looks bright for Young Audiences. Not only did we eliminate our deficit in 2006, we did this while growing our operations and outreach dramatically. Our budget has grown by 65% over the last two years and in 2007 we will add three new staff positions.

In 2007 we will also launch a new program in partnership with the Maryland State Arts Council and Arts Education in Maryland Schools (AEMS) Alliance, the Teaching Artist Institute. This program will build the capacity of artists in our community to contribute to student learning in and through the arts.

We are proud of our progress. We also realize we have a long and exciting road ahead in order to realize our mission.

Weinviteyoutojoinusonthisjourney.

Sincerely,

rural initiativeYoung Audiences aims to be more accessible to the rural areas of the state. For example, we worked with board member Jon Bauman and Allegany County Fine Arts Supervisor Craig Schutz to coordinate a week-long tour of Bay Street Brassworks through the Allegany elementary schools in the Spring of 2006. This tour of twelve performances was supported by the Maryland State Arts Council, Martins Market and the Allegany School System. This tour received rave reviews:

You are really a gift to this little corner of the world!; This performance was student friendly, appropriately-paced, used Maryland Voluntary State Curriculum concepts and presented a high level of professional musicianship this group truly made the music come alive.

access initiativeIn 2006 we provided 832 deeply discounted and free music, dance, visual arts and theatre experiences to underserved schools and communities in Maryland. These experiences sometimes serve as a childs only cultural experience for the year and are made possible through restricted grants and gifts. Last year, Young Audiences raised nearly $100,000 for this initiative.

teaching artist instituteYoung Audiences partnered with Arts Education in Maryland Schools (AEMS) Alliance and the Maryland State Arts Council to develop a professional development program for artists working in schools. This statewide training program launches in January 2007 and will build artists capacity to deliver arts learning experiences that better meet the needs of todays schools and specifically address state standards. Special thanks to project funders: The William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund, Maryland State Arts Council, Sylvan Laureate Foundation, and The Kennedy Center.

The Teaching Artist Institute will ultimately enable community artists to participate more fully in the work of transforming education in Maryland and will inject new energy and creativity into our schools and communities making them joyful places in which to learn and live.

Mary Ann Mears, Artist, Advocate and Founder of AEMS Alliance

artscapeFor the second year, Young Audiences served as the sponsor of Artscapes Family Performance Stage. We provided three days of free performances and workshops by Young Audiences artists, reaching thousands of children and families throughout the week-end event and raising our visibility in the Greater Baltimore region.

careers in the arts extended day program2006-07 will mark our second year partnering with the Academy for College and Career Exploration (ACCE)-- an innovation high school in Baltimore City to offer an afterschool program for 80 ninth grade students. Careers in the Arts offers students instruction led by professional artists working in their field and performing/ exhibiting opportunities in music, dance, visual arts and theatre.

It is a powerful sight to see our students learn-ing how to sculpt, drum, act, and draw when these creative talents are disappearing from our nations schools. By having the Young Audiences program we are able to provide a learning experience that addresses the whole child. Ivor Mitchell, Principal, ACCE

artworksGrants from the Alison Rose Tunis Fund and the Creative Baltimore Fund, allowed Young Audiences to bring nine of its performing and visual artists into lower wealth schools and neighborhoods in Baltimore to provide in-depth learning experiences in the performing and visual arts. Each Artworks experience culminated in a final community performance or art exhibition. Windsor Hills, Medfield Heights, Empowerment Academy, Grove Park, Cross Country, and Commodore John Rodgers were some of the schools that participated, with a total of 2300 children benefiting from Artworks.

Just to see the excitement on their faces the mo-ment they touched the drum or they learned their first dance stepI could tell from their response that this was an experience like none other theyd ever had. They could not wait to share what they learned with the whole school, parents and teachers -- and it all came together at the sharing. I loved it. I loved working with them. Many kept asking, Mr. Ssuuna are you coming back again? Ssunna, Young Audiences artist and partner in Artworks
