How We YAYA
Professional Development Series
YA/YA's professional development series is designed to partner our youth artists with professionals working in various art related fields. Curators, Marketers, Financial Advisors, Gallery Directors, and practicing Artists have been invited to share their skills and expertise with the students. In addition to learning the practical skills necessary to succeed in the art business, the artists benefit from the added advantage of making invaluable contacts within the New Orleans art community. These workshops are critical to developing well rounded artists and ensuring the advancement of our Yayas' careers.
