YAYA Creative Glass
The Creative Glass Center at YAYA!
YAYA has undertaken a thrilling new venture, in partnership with the local glass-art community. The studio formerly run by the New Orleans Creative Glass Institute (on Conti at Carrollton) will remain open with public-access, thanks to a gift of the studio equipment to YAYA, and our commitment to continue serving this vibrant sector of our arts community. Come check out the glass studio, and call 482-6003 for information about classes, sales, and hot shop rentals.
The Clayton-Royer Family Fund and tomorrow's entrepreneurs
YAYA, the Clayton-Royer Family Fund, and an elite group of local corporations have teamed up to present a simple challenge to New Orleans philanthropists this year: Invest in the professional development of tomorrow's creative thinkers and workers! Clayton-Royer and our corporate partners will match each dollar contributed to YAYA, up to $35,000, in 2012. Contact Corporate Chair Shelby Russ at info@yayainc.com for more information.
SWAN Day at YAYA: March 31
Support Women Artists Now (SWAN) Day is a new international holiday that celebrates women artists. By focusing attention on the work of women artists, SWAN Day helps us imagine what the world might be like if women's art and perspectives were fully integrated into all of our lives.
Study Art at YAYA's Summer Camp!
For many years, YAYA has dreamed of running a summer art camp for kids. This year we finally are launching that dream! Our "You Can YAYA" camp will take up a different artistic medium and project each week; kids ages 6-13 can sign up for a single week, or for all three. Details below!
Click here to register.
Week 1: YAYA's new "Creative Glass" program will offer a glass-fusing project. Campers will make pendants, abstract plaques, and candleholders...along with whatever strikes their fancy!
Week 2: Campers will learn the process of gel mono-printing, creating their own greeting cards, collages, and other artworks with prints and found objects.
Week 3: Campers will learn the art of mosaics as well as sculpture techniques, building different aquatic-themed artworks during the week. A field trip to the Aquarium of the Americas will help spur imaginations!
Each week costs $150 per camper, including a daily snack and a YAYA T-shirt. Optional field trips may have a small additional fee.
Join us for a cool and artful summer at YAYA!
YAYA is an arts community and teaching design studio dedicated to the artistic, professional, and personal development of creative young people in New Orleans.
