MENUMENU
  • What We Do


    • YPI creates a community of respect and responsibility for young people: teens and tweens ages 11-17 (grades 6-12). For those whose talents in the visual and performing arts set them apart in their school systems, YPI provides a home base by meeting every year. Creative expression is the ultimate goal. YPI provides access to professional artists who may help guide their careers as the young people mature. These master teachers share both their talent and their wisdom.
