YoungArts has announced four more finalists from New World School of the Arts this year, bringing the total number of NWSA finalists to 113 since 2002. The accomplished NWSA winners include Yuniel Betancourt, dance; Lucas Buckwell, theater; Tiara Farquharson, theater; and Dalila Lugo, music.
The students, recognized by faculty and peers for their remarkable talent in their respective arts divisions, also excel in academics ranking among the highest in their graduating class of 2023. The students’ community engagement, despite their demanding academic curricula and artistic training, also is noteworthy, placing them among the most passionate and driven at NWSA.
“Students who attend New World School of the Arts find themselves in a highly stressful and competitive environment: five academic classes plus three hours of training in their art each day,” explained Pamela Cabarcos, NWSA High School guidance counselor. “Faced with long commutes, demanding arts and academic classes, and after-school rehearsals, students often spend 12 to 14 hours a day in school related activities.”
YoungArts award winners gain access to one of the most comprehensive programs for artists in the United States in which they will have opportunities for financial, creative, and professional development support throughout their entire careers. YoungArts award winners at all levels will receive cash prizes between $100 and $10,000 and the opportunity to learn from leading artists in the various artistic fields recognized by YoungArts.
In addition, YoungArts finalists are invited to participate in National YoungArts Week, Jan. 8-15, 2023, featuring virtual classes, workshops, and mentorship from leading artists in their fields as well as virtual performances and an exhibition for the public. Finalists also are eligible to be nominated to become a U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts, one of the highest honors given high school seniors bestowed by the President of the United States.
