🎉 What a Year for Westford’s Young Creators! 🎶🎨
The 2024–25 school year was a banner year for youth arts and music in Westford—and YOUTHArts Westford was proud to be there every step of the way, supporting, encouraging, and celebrating our amazing student artists and musicians. Here's what we accomplished together:

✨ Explored a real artist’s studio & created rock + tile mosaics
🎼 Hosted 3 student recitals with musicians from ages 6 to high school
🖼️ Held a juried youth art exhibition and an artist challenge each with 30+ young artists
🎶 Sponsored a nationally known composer to coach WA students—culminating in a powerful clinic featuring student-composed Indian ragas!
🎨 Coordinated the Youth Division of the Westford Regional Art Event with the Parish Center for the Arts
🥁 Supported the Westford Academy Marching Band Home Show
🎨🎵 Hosted 3 music & craft nights filled with creativity and community
🎓 Awarded a senior scholarship to the amazing Zoe Seiger (WA Class of 2025)

We can’t wait to see what next year brings. Until then—keep creating, Westford! 💛
