Let’s get together for a cup of morning joe and share how we’re all coping with this new ‘normal’. We know that the current situation, brought on by the global pandemic, has been especially hard for our industry and that each of us is facing a very unique set of challenges. Join us for a morning hour from the comfort of your home through Zoom to chat about our collective experience. How has the situation impacted you personally and professionally? If you’re working from home, what have you found to be especially challenging? Are there any resources, grants, social media accounts, or articles that you would love to share? And let’s also share the things that have been a comic relief or a ray of sunshine during these times too!

Join us for a YPA winter happy hour!

Come meet like-minded arts professionals in the city over a drink at the Antler. We’ll chat about our shared experiences working in the art world, the current office gripes, what artsy activities everyone is up to during the cold winter months, your recent Netflix obsession, that incredible exhibition you’ve seen recently…no issue is off-topic :)

Please RSVP and let us know that you can make it!

This Saturday, journey with us to Governors Island for a special YPA tour of LMCC’s brand new Arts Center, the first permanent home for artists and audience on the island. We will take a tour of the center, explore Open Studios with LMCC’s Arts Center Artists-in-Residence & learn directly from Sophie Lam, LMCC’s Director of Communications and Marketing. Stick around after for a hands-on workshop (led by YPA volunteer Hayley Ferber) with Textile Arts Center based on the two exhibitions, and movement workshops by The Floor or explore the rest of the Island’s offerings!

Join us to celebrate YPA’s 4th Anniversary for a rooftop summer happy hour!

Come raise a glass where it all began four years ago and meet like-minded arts professionals in the city. We’ll chat about our shared experiences working in the art world, what artsy summer activities everyone is up to, the humidity, the long winter, your recent Netflix obsession, that incredible exhibition you’ve seen recently…no issue is off-topic :)

Please RSVP and let us know that you can make it!

Join us for a no-frills, no-fuss, but all-the-fun Happy Hour in April!

This is an opportunity to meet like-minded arts professionals in the city and chat about our shared experiences working in the art world. No issue is off-topic, if you want to gush about your newly adopted rescue-puppy instead of the gala you're working on, we won't hold it against you.

RSVP now to let us know you can make it.

Add one more stop to your Armory week itinerary and join us for a special networking and development event hosted by Amsterdam's Young Collectors Circle. The evening will begin with a panel on NY Collecting and Social Media tactics moderated by Young Collectors Circle-founder Nienke van der Wal and featuring Noreen Chadha, citizenM Hotel, Mark Rosen, Artsy, collector Gary Yeh, and visual artist Katie Stout followed by a networking hour. 

Join us for a practical session on how to navigate promotions of all kinds with industry experts in your field.

The arts organizations come in a variety of sizes and structures. When there is no straight path in your career journey or you’re dealing with a very flat and small hierarchy within your organization, how do you ensure you keep growing? What is a promotion in such circumstances? And how do you actually get one?
