Dear Mr. Rosten:

Congratulations! Your program’s work has been chosen for recognition as a 2016 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award (NAHYP) Finalist by the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities and its partner agencies, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. We are highly impressed with the successful work that your organization and the other Finalists have accomplished in youth after-school and out-of-school arts and humanities learning.

We reviewed 301 nominations from 44 states and the District of Columbia, and your program’s selection as one of the 50 Finalists distinguishes it as one of the top arts- and humanities-based programs in the country.
