Professional Development
YoungArts offers professional development programs, skills-building workshops, artist residencies and cultural partnerships to help artists advance their careers and their professional networks.
Artist Resource Collective
Artist Resource Collective (ARC) is a new, artist-designed and artist-led program that equips artists with essential financial tools and knowledge. Created by David Thomson, artist and co-creator of the Artist Sustainability Project, the program addresses key topics such as personal finance, business structures, contracts and agreements, taxes, grant writing, legal issues, intellectual property, and more as it continues to grow.
Sundance Ignite
YoungArts at Sundance Ignite provides the opportunity for five YoungArts award winners under the age of 25 to attend the Sundance Film Festival and participate in the Ignite program of activities during the second weekend of the festival. YoungArts award winners attend panels and workshops with other young filmmakers, meet with established filmmakers and view films debuting at the prestigious festival.

My gratitude for YoungArts is immense. Sundance was life changing and soul expanding. The Up Next program deepened my transformation even further.”
