National YoungArts Week: Exhibition Opening
Jan 10, 2026
From: 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM
A gallery exhibition brings together emerging voices in design, photography, and visual art, offering a first look at work by some of the nation’s most accomplished young creatives.
The 2026 National YoungArts Week: Exhibition Opening takes place at the YoungArts Gallery, presenting work by YoungArts competition winners with distinction in Design, Photography, and Visual Arts. Selected through a highly competitive, blind adjudication process, these artists are invited to Miami to develop their practice alongside peers and internationally recognized mentors, with this exhibition serving as the public culmination of their weeklong intensive.
This annual exhibition is a core component of National YoungArts Week, which convenes exceptional artists ages 15–18 from across the United States for collaboration, mentorship, and public presentation across multiple disciplines. The opening offers audiences an opportunity to engage directly with new work that reflects both technical rigor and individual artistic perspective at a formative stage in each artist’s career.
The gallery opens at 1:30 p.m. Admission is free with RSVP. Beverages and hors d’oeuvres will be served on the plaza, with complimentary valet available. The program will also be livestreamed online. Please note that some works may include mature or sensitive themes.
