2015 Michigan Youth Arts Festival
By Lauren Mehringer
May 7-9
In its 53rd year, the 2015 Michigan Youth Arts Festival (MYAF) is a multidisciplinary arts spectacular, highlighting the achievements of the state’s best performing and fine artists at the high school level. The event will take place May 7 to 9 on the campus of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. All musical concerts, theater performances, visual art exhibits, and film screenings will be free of charge and open to the public.
“The Michigan Youth Arts Festival honors the best artistic talent in the state, at both the student and professional level,” said Marianne Dorais, Executive Director of Michigan Youth Arts. “Arts education leads to increased creativity, higher graduation rates, and greater aspirations, and Michigan Youth Arts is proud to play a role in the artistic development of these young people.”
To be invited to MYAF as a participant, Michigan high school students must earn the highest scores throughout yearlong adjudications, coordinated by Michigan Youth Arts’ statewide partner associations. The top 1,000 students, who are carefully chosen from a pool of more than 250,000 applicants, are then invited to the Festival, where they showcase their work and attend discipline-specific master classes led by renowned industry professionals. Additionally, the Festival’s Friday night Gala Concert will be accompanied by the Grand Rapids Youth Symphony.
“Michigan Youth Arts is honored to host this annual event because it not only encourages artistic excellence at the high school level, but also creates an awareness of the importance of art in the lives of Michigan residents,” said Dorais. “The extraordinary talent of our Distinguished Scholars, whether as vocalists, actors, dancers, musicians or artists, is something of which the entire state can be proud.”
