Young Audiences of Northern California (YANC) partners with our network of teaching artists to deliver arts education to schools and community centers through our Signature Core Programs: assembly performances, artist residencies, artist workshops, and professional development for classroom teachers. We work in four arts disciplines: visual art, music, theater, and dance. We provide maximum impact on student learning by ensuring that all of our programs are arts-focused, child-centered, outcomes-driven, and measurably effective. To achieve these qualities, all programs offer students the opportunity to: experience the art form demonstrated by a professional artist; understand the art form and its history and culture; create the art form; and connect their learning to other areas of study, and to their lives and world.
