About YouthArtsBase

What this site is

YouthArtsBase is a directory of youth arts programs across the US. Theater, music, dance, visual arts, film, writing, photography. We list real programs that take K-12 students. This is not a paid-ad list. Programs are not ranked by who paid.

Who runs it

Built by a small team that runs youth-focused directories. We are parents too. We built this because finding the right program for a kid is harder than it should be.

How listings get on the site

Most listings start from public business data. Program owners can submit their own listing, then claim and edit it to keep details accurate. Anyone who spots something wrong can flag it. If a program closes or moves, let us know and we will update it.
