A Salute to the 2016 U.S. Presidential Scholars

YoungArts invites you to celebrate the 2016 U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts—all YoungArts winners—in Washington, D.C. on Monday, June 20 with a visual arts, design and writing exhibition as well as "A Salute to the 2016 U.S. Presidential Scholars,” a free public performance directed by three-time Emmy Award-winning actress Debbie Allen at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

The 20 Scholars in the Arts were nominated to The White House Commission on Presidential Scholars by YoungArts for their artistic achievement, and then selected based on academic achievement, personal characteristics and leadership and service activities. The award, presented on behalf of the President of the United States, is one of the nation’s highest honors for high school students and symbolically honors all graduating high school seniors of high potential.

The dance, theater, music and voice performance will take place in the Concert Hall at 8 p.m. The exhibition will be on view from June 15 through June 30.
