2025 Young at Art

A FREE Expo of Creative Learning

Saturday March 15, 2025

Penn State Lehigh Valley

2809 Saucon Valley Rd

Center Valley PA 18034

We will return to Penn State Lehigh Valley in spring 2025!

As an expo of creative learning, Young at Art is all about experiencing the arts first hand. Children of all ages can try out instruments, participate in interactive arts activities, and experience performances by their peers in every artistic discipline.

Parents, you will witness how the arts spark your child’s imagination and have the opportunity to gather valuable information about lessons, classes, summer camps, and other educational offerings by local cultural organizations.

Young at Art is supported in part by Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital, PPL, and the Dexter F. and Dorothy H. Baker Foundation.
