Young Arts Arizona exhibits the art of challenged children to build their positive sense of self, to make art accessible to the community, to advocate for the importance of children’s art, and to raise awareness of the many challenges our children face.

Four or five times a year, Young Arts hosts opening receptions, showcasing children’s art in the three home galleries: Passages, Papp Gallery, and Artist-in-Residence Gallery.

The opening receptions are open to the public and are often enjoyed by the young artists, their families, friends, and teachers. Refreshments are served for this rich cultural experience.
