Young Audiences of Northern California

Mission

YANC's mission is to make the arts - classical, contemporary, and multicultural - an essential part of every young person's education and life. YANC works with over 120 artists and arts organizations to provide professional, high quality arts experiences to empower and enhance the lives of young audiences throughout the Bay Area.

Programs

YANC offers arts discipline-based programs in music, theatre, dance, and visual, literary, media and circus arts that are presented in four basic formats: assemblies, residencies, workshops, and professional development training. Many of our programs relate to core curricula subjects such as science, math, life skills, social studies, language arts, and they are designed to support the California Visual & Performing Arts Content Standards.
