Our move from Howard Street to Odell’s–the historic nightclub on North Avenue known for bringing Baltimoreans together time and time again to share in the joy of living creatively–means more space for classrooms and community engagement and for our growing organization to work and dream together under one roof. For decades, Young Audiences has been welcomed into school and community buildings across the state. Now, for the first time in our 70-year history, students and their families and caregivers can come to our new home and explore their creativity, express themselves, and discover the arts’ power to enhance learning, to enrich communities, and to change lives.

Young Audiences of Maryland’s executive director and grants manager, plus a board member and artist participate in a seven-month DEI training program.

Arts for Learning Maryland is named the Community Schools Lead Agency for three Baltimore City Public Schools: Mount Royal Elementary Middle in Bolton Hill, Hazelwood Elementary Middle in Northeast Baltimore, and Green Street Academy in West Baltimore
