YAGC is the fourth largest among thirty two affiliated professional
chapters of Young Audiences, Inc., the country’s oldest
and largest nonprofit arts-in-education organization with the
primary goal of making the arts essential to the education and
development of all school-aged children. Young Audiences programs
reach over 8 million youth throughout the United States every
year. Locally, through more than 6,700 programs during the 2004-2005
school year, YAGC served over 275,000 students in sixty urban,
rural and suburban school districts throughout Northeast Ohio
in Cuyahoga, Lorain, Lake, Geauga, Summit, Medina, Erie, Ashtabula,
Richland and Portage counties. Both organizations have been
recognized for their work, as Young Audiences, Inc. received
the 1994 National Medal of Arts from the National Endowment
of the Arts, sharing the award with the Cleveland chapter.
YAGC is the only Northeast Ohio multi-arts resource for preschool
through high school students and teachers whose primary purpose
is to make learning through the arts an essential part of young
people’s education. The organization was founded in 1953
as a program of the School Concerts Committee of the Cleveland
Chamber Music Society under the direction of George Szell, Maestro
of the Cleveland Orchestra and board member of National Young
Audiences. Under Szell’s guidance, musicians from The
Cleveland Orchestra gave all-school concerts. The organization
has grown tremendously to provide arts-integrated programming
and facilitate partnerships among Greater Cleveland area schools
and the arts and cultural community to improve learning in the
arts and other core academic subjects. With offices currently
located in Cleveland’s historic Shaker Square, the organization’s
goal continues to be bringing the power of the arts to all school-aged
children regardless of school budgetary issues. |
