Artist Opportunities
YAM is dedicated to supporting the growth of our region’s vibrant artistic and creative community. By providing a community platform, emerging and established artists are encouraged to showcase their talents and reach a broader audience.
Cultural engagement is essential for the enrichment of our society, and YAM strives to encourage broad community participation in the arts.

The winner receives $30,000 and their winning piece is acquired for the permanent collection, offering recognition and distinction for the artist.
