The video from the 2026 Emerging Young Artists Award Show is here. Hit play and see what happens when young artists are given the tools, the space, and the encouragement to share what's inside them.
We're honored to be part of their journey, and so grateful to the Saint Paul Jaycees Charitable Foundation for their incredible gift. (Watch the video to learn about it!)
