YA/YA's mission is to empower creative young people to become successful adults. We do this by providing educational experiences in the arts and entrepreneurship to New Orleans-area youth, and by fostering and supporting their ambitions.

On February 29, we hosted our first YA/YA Open Studio for 2010, welcoming families to a Mardi Gras Ladder workshop. Check out our photos from the workshop, and watch the YA/YA calendar for upcoming Open Studio events!
