Area students ages 14-18 are invited to apply to the Fort Dodge Fine Arts Association Youth Advisory Council for the 2023-24 school year.

Fifteen students will be named to the council. Representatives from area community organizations, schools, arts organizations and private teaching studies can nominate a student for the council. Students can also nominate themselves, but must include a letter of recommendation describing why they are a good candidate for the council.

Students selected for the council will attend a monthly meeting and serve as an ambassador to increase youth participation in the arts.

Applications and nomination forms are due on Oct. 6 and can be found on the FDFAA Facebook page. For more information, contact FDFAA Executive Director Shelly Bottorff at fdfinearts@gmail.com.
