Since 1994, The Arts Commission has presented the award winning Young Artists at Work (YAAW) Program. This six-week summer employment opportunity enables diverse and at-risk youth to benefit from an intense exposure to the arts. Students are selected in a competitive process for 6 weeks of summer employment as working artists.
The objective of YAAW is to provide an intensive arts experience that fosters artistic self-expression and a quality work ethic that can impact the youth throughout adulthood. The program encourages expression, refinement, cross-cultural sharing, and the exchange of ideas. The opportunity provides exposure to the concept of art as a business, as well as the creation of public art for the greater Toledo community.
