Grateful. Inspired. So Proud. 💛

Thank you to everyone who came out to support our youth during our Youth Talent Event. The energy in the room was nothing short of uplifting and inspiring. We are incredibly proud of our young artists—not only for bravely showcasing their talents, but for confidently sharing their stories and creative journeys with the audience. Their voices, creativity, and courage truly led the way.

A very special thank you to the parents and families who continue to support, encourage, and uplift their young artists. Your belief, presence, and dedication to nurturing creativity make moments like this possible. We see you, and we are deeply grateful.

We extend heartfelt appreciation to our educators:

Tim Flynn from Most Blessed Trinity Academy and his first grade class

Theresa Fontana from Deer Path Middle School
Sage Ramirez, educator of Ballet Folklórico Tayahua, whose students performed and graced us with a beautiful presentation that brought movement, culture, and artistry to the evening—truly inspiring all in attendance.

Your guidance, artistry, and encouragement help build confidence, expression, and a deep appreciation for creative expression in our youth.

Deep gratitude to our sponsors whose generosity made this event possible and helped extend our reach—allowing us to provide more youth services that are free or low cost. Your support truly creates opportunity.

We are honored and thankful for our Dandelion Artist Alliance, whose dedication to our mission and operations made this event amazing from start to finish. Everything we do is strengthened by our Alliance and our Dandelion Art Coalition Unite—working together to empower youth, uplift voices, and cultivate the good in us through creativity. Big thank you to Davidlsi Visual Artist - David Narens for his photography and POE and for the beautiful title wall mural.

Thank you for believing in our youth and standing with us. 🌱🎨✨
