YPA Arts Weekly | July 16, 2018

July 15, 2018 by Young Professionals in the Arts in Weekly Round-Up

A recent article highlighting two conference attendees at American Alliance of Museum's annual gathering tackles how a 'Codes of Conduct' can be interpreted differently and demonstrates the value of open conversation to create understanding. A great read about empathy, changing societal norms, and how museums can better support their staff. Channeling Huma Bhabha's Met Rooftop offering as the theme for the week, We Come in Peace, we challenge you all to seek a better understanding of a difference this week. Whatever that means to you.

Arts Weekly Round Up February 18 - March 3

February 16, 2018 by Young Professionals in the Arts in Weekly Round-Up

Should art museums be free? Can market transparency ever truly be attainable in the art world? Is it possible to thrive in two seemingly opposite career paths at the same time? This Arts Weekly tackles all these big questions and more. Our Reads & Feeds section is full of advice, career path guidance, and the words of one forward thinking executive director (looking at you, Charles Venable). The Around Town section is all about planning, growth, and education. Take advantage of Benvenuti Art's budgeting workshop for small organizations and a practical session on authenticating art. For The Hunt we scavenged the depths of the top art job sites out there to pull highlights so you don't have to! Now go on and get out there - read, see, do, apply!

Arts Weekly Round-Up February 5 - 11

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

What do the arts have to do with the Super Bowl? Well, look no further than Philly and Boston's museums to give you another (artsy) reason to follow the game. If you're however feeling bored during the time between Super Bowl commercials and before and after the halftime show - rest assured that being bored is good for you. Find out more in our Reads and Feeds section, where we're inspired by how music improves the lives of people with dementia and the artist Doreen Garner who set up a tattoo parlor dedicated to Black Pride. Catch her in person this week at a film premiere and check out Around Town for more events to attend this week, like the talk on Michelangelo just in time for the Met Museum's blockbuster exhibition. If the new year means a new job for you, let The Hunt section start you off, or start browsing the job sites mentioned. Onwards through this cold, YPA-ers!

Arts Weekly Round-Up January 22 - 28

January 19, 2018 by Young Professionals in the Arts in Weekly Round-Up

Can you hear that? Yesterday the sound of activists, feminists, artists, and change-makers loudly banded together for both the Women's March and Art Action Day (AAD) for programs, art works,  performances, and protests. AAD's motto Art Saves Democracy aims to promote unification in this turbulent time of political unrest and inequality. Read more in our Reads and Feeds section, where you can also catch a few resonating reads on career pursuit and growth. In Around Town a reminder that there is still time to reserve your Art of Empowerment ticket hosted by Women of Culture next weekend and plenty of programs that promote growth and personal, professional, and social development. The Hunt has a bit of something for everyone - marketing, development, sales, part-time, long-term - the right job is out there for you. And if you don't see something you like, be sure to explore each of The Hunt's job sites!

Only two more last weeks left to squeeze in as much art and culture before the holiday coma hits. For Reads & Feeds, it's all about development and growth with tips on fundraising and nailing that interview. The Hunt highlights everything from part-time production work to managing a museum marketing force. So much is happening Around Town - Stop by the Roger Smith Hotel for our third and final Professional Development Workshop series to talk about navigating promotions within the arts. We hope you dance off the week at MoMa PS1's annual holiday party and check out the Guggenheim's holiday concert in their iconic rotunda!

Arts Weekly Round-Up Nov 20-27

November 19, 2017 by Young Professionals in the Arts in Weekly Round-Up

Somehow the holidays have arrived and with that at last, a slower rhythm is starting to pulse through the arts scene. Our Around Town feature reflects that wind-down so we stuffed our Reads and Feeds section with a little extra love to get you through your holiday travels and awkward dinner conversations. Hear how the art world is handling the rampant wave of sexual harassment and gender discrimination flooding the country and then brush up on the public monument debate ahead of next week’s public hearings. With so much social unrest, change is on the cusp - stay informed, active, and try not to make a scene at the Thanksgiving table when that one uncle starts ranting. For The Hunt, we heard y’all loud and clear at our workshop last week - we have a round-up of Development and Marketing jobs and some tips on how to write that Thank You letter, even if it wasn’t an official interview. Trot full speed ahead, Turkeys!

Ok, now, let us get our frozen fingers warmed up so we can type this blog post. What just happened? How are we in the depths of winter now? We're scrambling to find our winter coats in the backs of our closets and reminded to start ticking off some of those looming end-of-year goals. What are your goals last bits of the year?  Personally, we're looking to hone our interview skills at this week's Arts Job Interview workshop on Tuesday, November 14. We hope to see you there!

We all believe in the transformative power of the arts, otherwise we most likely wouldn't be working in the sector. But sometimes we find ourselves having a hard time explaining it to friends, family, or acquaintances. So this week, we're sharing some articles to help you out. Not only does arts education help with school attendance but students develop better grades in Math and English too. And we're sharing an inspiring story of how art therapy helps veterans cope with PTSD. If that's not enough motivation - come join us next week for our Arts Job Interview workshop on November 14 and land that next dream job in the arts!
