What is Baltimore Youth Arts?

Baltimore Youth Arts (BYA) is a community-based arts and workforce development program for youth ages 14–25, focusing on those impacted by the juvenile justice system. BYA offers young people a platform to express themselves, build leadership skills, and prepare for employment and adulthood through paid creative job training, mentorship, and educational programming.

We work inside youth detention centers and in the community to ensure that young people are recognized for their creativity, resilience, and power.

Together, we’re creating a future where young people are not only heard but hired, healed, and celebrated.

Upcoming events.

Check out our calendar of events to see what we’re up to. Baltimore Youth Arts events include sales events, exhibitions, workshops, partnerships, and more.
