    This season, we’re excited to share a milestone made possible by our incredible customers. Our Holiday Round Up campaign became our highest-performing to date, raising more than $250K in support of YoungArts. These funds help advance YoungArts’ mission to identify, support, and develop exceptional young artists nationwide, including signature programs such as National YoungArts Week, which creates access to workshops, performances, and career-development opportunities. Earlier this month, as part of this year’s National YoungArts Week programming, Anthropologie welcomed YoungArts Design award winners into our Miami Brickell store for a hands-on workshop led by our store design team. Participants explored visual merchandising, store experience, and creative career pathways alongside our display artists, designing lotus candle holders inspired by our spring window displays. This workshop reflects one of the many ways we collaborate with YoungArts to help amplify emerging talent and invest in long-term creative growth. With continued customer support, Anthropologie has proudly contributed more than $1.8M to YoungArts to date.
