Bring YAYA to Your School!
Alumni of the YAYA Guild have been teaching art workshops in schools and at community events through YAYA’s Urban Heroes program since 2003. YAYA's Urban Heroes program is an arts enrichment program that offers in-school and after school, community events, Art Day field trips, and summer programs. Our workshops are rooted in Louisiana Standards for Arts Education, and focus on areas such as creative expression, aesthetic perception, visualization, team work and critical thinking. YAYA’s customized in-school and after-school Urban Heroes workshops have provided arts enrichment programming for over 28 different schools in Orleans and Jefferson Parishes with professional development for our artists and leaders-in-training.
