Youth Arts Collective invites you to celebrate summer with us at the opening reception for our 2024 Summer Art Show on Friday, July 26, 5pm-8pm. Our Summer Show will feature more than 130 incredible works from YAC artists and mentors. This year, we're thrilled to showcase artwork from our new middle school-aged TAG artists, too!

Can't make it to the reception? Our Summer Show will be available for viewing online beginning July 26.

About Youth Arts Collective

YAC is a nonprofit, after school art studio and mentorship program for high school and college artists - brilliant and struggling, confident and fringe, multi-ethnic, multi-tempered, and over 30% financially challenged. They learn art, job, and life skills, and gain a healthy dose of self-esteem and gratitude along the way.

100% of YACsters graduate from high school. 95% go on to university, college, and art college - many on scholarships. YAC is an incubator for some of our community’s future creatives, whether they end up in the arts, education, business, or science.

YAC provides supplies, studio space, art training, exhibition and commission opportunities, individual mentoring, and a community unlike any other.
