Kansas City Young Audiences
About
Kansas City Young Audiences, founded in 1961, is the original provider of arts education programs for children and youth in the Kansas City metro. Our programs serve approximately 100,000 students annually, and for many, it is their first brush with the arts. Nearly 70% of the students we serve come from lower-income homes and may not have access to these experiences if it weren't for KCYA and our 150 partner teaching artists.
Engage all youth in the arts, promote creativity, and inspire success in education.
Every child deserves the transformational spark the arts ignite!
