A Home for Creativity & Belonging – 25 Years of YAC

This year, we celebrate 25 years of YAC—a milestone acknowledging the thousands of young artists who have found our studio to be a home for creativity and belonging. YAC has been a safe place to grow, take creative risk, and forge lasting connections before our young artists fly off for new horizons.

We’ve created a commemorative logo featuring our signature YAC emblem nestled in a woven nest—a symbol of the sanctuary we provide. Like a nest, YAC is a home—a place where young artists are supported, mentored, and encouraged to explore their authentic selves as diverse creatives. The nest’s woven branches reflect our community, a foundation of artists, mentors, and supporters who make YAC the special place it is.

In these uncertain times, spaces like YAC are essential for fostering creativity, resilience, and a sense of belonging in our youth and community.
