York Art Association Inc

Programs: The york art association began in 1905 when three visual artists and several businessmen came together to exchange views and interests. Over one hundred years later, yaa has evolved into a vital organization with over 450 members. The primary objective of yaa's mission statement is to provide opportunities in south central pa and northern md for individuals to expand their artistic skills or simply explore creatively through classes, workshops, lectures, exhibits and using publications in the yaa library. Yaa offers year-round day and evening classes for adults and children six days a week. The yaa holds diverse juried and non-juried exhibits each year. These include traditional and non-representational art in various media. We also host workshops and lectures.
