Young Audiences Inc. Annual Report 2012

Learning to Succeed in the Process

Celebrating 60 Years 2012 marks our 60th anniversary.

3 As you might expect of any 60-year-old, our looks have changed a bit over the years. We started out as simply “Young Audiences”, an organization that brought classical music concerts to school kids in Baltimore. Now we are Young Audiences Arts for Learning, with 30 affiliates offer- ing programs that introduce almost every conceivable art form into curricula and communities for five million children nationwide each year.

1 So, we’ve grown. But in some very basic ways, we remain the same.

We still believe in the absolute necessity for the arts in educa- tion. Integrating arts experiences of exceptional quality into the learning and lives of our children is still at the very core of what we do. Our relentless advocacy of these principles has earned us the recognition of Presidents from Nixon to Obama and a preem- inent place in the ongoing debate over the direction of American education. This debate is taking place during a time in which tremen- dous ferment is roiling not just education, but technology, communications, politics, employment and economies all around the world. The pace of change is searing. Knowledge is, as ever, a vital commodity. Yet it has an ever-shorter shelf life. What can prepare our children for a world moving so fast that the knowledge they acquire in school may already be obsolete by the time they graduate? Their path to meaningful, success- ful lives lies not only in what they learn, but in how they learn it. Learning is not a discrete event or single body of information. It is an ongoing, continual process.

5 If today’s students can expect to have ten jobs or more in a work- ing career, then mastering this process of learning the next new thing is essential. And nothing will help children do this more effectively than arts-integrated learning. The continual learning process we advocate is just as applicable to our own organization’s success as to our students’. Sixty years’ experience has taught us that our success comes not only from what we do, but from how we do it. As the trends in American education have cut deeply into the resources for arts in schools, we have been challenged to step into the breach. To do this, we have had to walk our talk: think creatively, sharpen our professionalism around our goals, adapt, collaborate, exploit the latest technologies so as to integrate all manner of arts into the education of more children in more venues than ever before. It is by these means that we can help children learn to learn, and in the process, learn to succeed. Let’s look at the components in the learning process that lead to creating successful, continual learners and see how beau- tifully the arts fit in.

21 Letter from the Chairman and President

The occasion of Young Audiences Arts for Learning’s 60th anniversary presents an ideal opportunity both to celebrate our past achievements and to focus on our present and future opportunities. Young Audiences began in 1952 as a provider of classical music programs for children in schools. Today, Young Audiences is the nation’s largest arts-in-education organization. In many communities, Young Audiences is regarded as the single most important resource for bringing arts learning experiences to students, teachers, schools and school districts.

23 Letter from the National Executive Director

In 1952, Harry S. Truman was president, Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine, the New York Yankees won the World Series and Young Audiences, Inc. was born. Much has changed since 1952, but one thing remains the same —Young Audiences Arts for Learning is still committed to providing the highest quality arts-in-education opportunities for children, schools and communities across the country. Then and now, Young Audiences believes that the arts are a unifying and humanizing force in the world and that they must be an integral part of our educational process.

Our 60th anniversary year had a number “I believe the network’s greatest of highlights: Mayor Bloomberg’s speech strength is in the high quality praising Young Audiences at our November benefit; the success of the 2012 and variety of our offerings, National Conference which, hosted by which are constantly evolving Young Audiences of Maryland, drew a to respond to the needs and record-attendance of over 250 delegates; demands of schools and President Obama’s letter commending our accomplishments during Young Audiences communities throughout the nation.” Week, March 12-16; and the launch of the new Young Audiences web site www.youngaudiences.org in August. ready for college and careers.

Depart- ment of Education for Arts for Learning Les- sons and for the Professional Development for Art Educators Program. Grants of such importance and magnitude establish a solid base from which we can pursue other large scale funding opportunities in partnership with Young Audiences affiliates. As I reflect on this year’s accomplish- ments, I am proud that the organization continues to maintain the high standards our founders espoused 60 years ago. My thanks go out to the national board and the affiliate network. Without their vision and contin- ued commitment, I would not have so much success to report.
