The New Directions Youth Arts (NDYA) program under the Office of Cultural Affairs has been recognized as a 2008 Coming Up
Taller Semifinalist by the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities. The semifinalist position distinguishes the
NDYA program as one of the top arts-and-humanities-based programs in the country serving youth beyond the school hours.
The NDYA program has been servicing youth at-risk and challenging communities throughout the City of Las Vegas since 1997.

Jeanne Voltura speaks to a group of students from Matt Kelly Elementary School about work from the Kerry Stuart Coppin exhibit at West Las Vegas Arts Center.
|
|
The exhibit had previously been on display at the Reed Whipple Cultural Center, but it was important for this exhibit to be seen by more people from the ethnic and
cultural community that surrounds West Las Vegas Art Center, so the artwork was brought from the Reed Whipple Gallery to the West Las Vegas Arts Center’s Community Gallery to be seen by school students, summer camp participants and citizens from this community.
