YPA Arts Weekly | Sept. 3 - 9

September 03, 2018 by Young Professionals in the Arts in Weekly Round-Up

Full steam ahead for all of us after this lovely Labor Day Weekend!
We hope you managed to get some well-deserved rest and are ready to conquer this new school year and programming season. Even if you're not on a semester/season schedule, doesn't it always feel like new beginnings after Labor Day? We might not be doing our usual back-to-school shopping anymore (new notebooks and pens, anyone?) but leaving the slow summer behind, we're ready to take on new work projects, geared with YPA arts resources, and looking forward to plenty of YPA events this fall!
More, as always, in this week's round-up below.

YES, you can is the theme of the week!
You can handle that difficult boss by learning strategies for managing up and establishing stronger communication. You can disagree in a professional manner with those more powerful than you in the office, and you can (and probably should) take risks and think out of the box to activate engagement for your organization. Embrace your ability to learn, grow, and participate and check out highlights from this week's round-up below!

How have you been using the summer? Is it a time for professional or personal growth? Or are you using it to take a breather, gather energy, and prepare for a new season? We have tried to cram in a little bit of both, all the while trying to make more time for family and friends and all the fun (and often free!) summer events NYC has to offer. We know you can't manage to do it all in a day, but while the summer days seem longer, we sure do try! :)

Weekly Round-Up July 3 - 9

June 30, 2017 by Young Professionals in the Arts in Weekly Round-Up

We made it! A nice long holiday weekend has arrived to celebrate our great (albeit a bit stressful right now) country and with it time to sneak off to enjoy the cool air conditioning in cultural spots around town. This week we are heading to the Park Avenue Armory's unnerving surveillance exploring-installation, Hansel & Gretel created by the brilliant minds of Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, in collaboration with Ai Weiwei. And in the reads section, If you missed our Women in the Arts: Negotiation Workshop, we highlighted some of the best advice from the evening in The Art of the Ask. It's a quick read on the YPA Blog.

Weekly Round Up June 12 - 18

June 10, 2017 by Young Professionals in the Arts in Weekly Round-Up

For those looking for a change, our jobs section this week highlights listings and sources in the curatorial, development, and editorial sectors. The summer is usually a slower period for most arts organization so generally, a smoother time to make that job transition. Also be sure to check out the Reads and Feedssection where you can dive into NYFA's article on differentiating worthwhile job posts from the fraudulent listings. For those of you with the opposite problem and nervously debating how to take that next step within your current organization, mark your calendar for June 27th. YPA NYC is partnering with ELNYA for Women in the Arts Mentorship Workshop: Negotiation, an intimate panel discussion and Q&A with Mara Manus (New York State Council on the Arts) and Pauline Willis (The American Federation of Arts) on negotiation strategies. (Register here). It should be a productive and informative night but space is limited so register now! Enjoy our round-up below and have an active week!

Weekly Round Up May 8 - 14

May 07, 2017 by Young Professionals in the Arts in Weekly Round-Up

To say that we're fed up with this cold weather in May (!!) might be an understatement. All the more reason to immerse ourselves in artsy events this week, keep reading interesting articles and be productive at work. The lack of picnics in the park can only be a good thing as we set our timers to be productive for 25 minutes at a time (see For The Homebody section below). The remainder of the week will be spent browsing the visualized map of the art world and thinking about our portfolio career. As always, if you're on the job hunt - we've got you covered.

Weekly Round-Up April 16 - 23

April 16, 2017 by Young Professionals in the Arts in Weekly Round-Up

Tensions can run high this time of the year, the Spring brings an active calendar that keeps on delivering events, conversations, and all-day symposiums that can have you running all over town like a maniac. This week is no different, we've got a full list of things to read and go see. Like supporting Art F City at their goth themed benefit and engaging in discussions around gender challenges and exploring the notion of post-truth in the era of the new administration. Our weekly reads include our first feature of an NEA-funded organization, Alice James Books, tactics for finding the assertive balance in the work place, and a look at the history of gender representation in classical music. Rounding it out is a few features for those on the job hunt! - Take a deep breath and find your zen. We've got you covered.

It's Passover, and Easter, and let's not forget tax season (and no, we don't count that as a holiday)! If you're among the disciplined who already filed your taxes months ago - kudos to you my friend. However, if you, (like most of us) leave it to the last minute, we're sharing a useful article about making charitable deductions. Regardless if you're planning on event-hopping or lounging on the couch this week, we've got you covered. Here are our favorite online reads of the week along with upcoming events and opportunities centered towards professional development, networking, social activism, and community engagement.
