Project Yes!

Project YES!—Youth Experiencing SaratogaArtsFest—is a collaboration of SaratogaArtsFest and the Saratoga Springs School District. Designed to make the arts more accessible to young people and to encourage families to attend SaratogaArtsFest, Project YES! began in 2009 and is gaining momentum as a significant component of Saratoga’s annual celebration of the arts: over 250 children attended SaratogaArtsFest as part of Project YES! in 2009.

Through Project YES!, any student in Saratoga Springs can apply for a free ARTSPASS Admission Package by completing a simple form provided at school. The ARTSPASS Admission Package provides access to the full array events during the four-day festival, as well as discounted admission to arts events throughout the year. In addition, student winners receive a Project YES! T-shirt, which identifies them for exclusive back-stage meetings with selected artists. Winners also receive a coupon for a reduced-price Admission Package to SaratogaArtsFest for one accompanying adult.

A variety of sponsorships are available to support this program. SaratogaArtsFest extends its appreciation to the generous sponsors who have made Project YES! possible.
