Coming Soon

Annual 24hr Artathon!
June 21-22
We will be seeking sponsorship up to and throughout the event. The resulting Art Show will take place two weeks later,
July 12, after we’ve gotten sleep… and found some frames for the work we did in those 24 hours.

Check out our Arts Blog! It’s called ArtzRag and can be accessed from our website by going to News&Events, or simply by clicking on the Art Blog link on this page.

We are also expanding our YACster gallery again to include all present YACsters, and try to catch up with some more of our YACalums.

A Visiting Artists Gallery is now hosting monthly e-exhibits of art by young artists from around Monterey County who live too far from us to commute to our program, but who would still like to participate.

Our New Address
472 Calie Principal • Monterey
831.375.9922

Congressman Sam Farr returned to Yac for a second visit. This time he brought
Dana Gioia, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA)! We were honored to be shown off as a model for an effective arts program. They stayed for an hour.
Chairman Gioia was clearly impressed, calling our program “authentic”. Congressman Farr said that he likes to call YAC “The safest place in Monterey County”. Thank you, Sam!
Accompanying the Chairman and Congressman were Steve Hoffman, CEO of The National Steinbeck Center, and David Kipen, Director, National Reading Initiatives for the NEA.
Their site visit and enthusiastic candor left us uplifted and more deeply committed to our mission and YAC’s future.
