Detroit Youth Artists Congress Nomination Form

Detroit Youth Artists Congress Nomination Form
The Detroit Youth Artists Congress is a new congress of young Detroit artists, convened to identify the issues that matter most to youth arts access in our city and to carry a set of recommendations to the Mayor, policymakers, and funders.

We're looking for 30 young artists, ages 14 to 19, to serve as the first class of DYAC delegates. Most delegates will either live in Detroit, Highland Park, or Hamtramck; attend school in one of those cities; or represent an arts organization based there. We also want a smaller group of delegates who bring a different vantage point.

If you know a student or young leader that fits that criteria, this opportunity is for them. This form allows you to nominate an individual who can speak directly to their passion for Detroit and how the city fits into where they're headed.

Applications open October 28 and close December 2, 2026. Selected delegates will hear from us by December 14, 2026.

Nominated students will be directed to our application link here (https://tinyurl.com/detroityac). Each applicant must submit an individual application. Nominations are encouraged but not required!
