YBCA: YOU

Registration for YBCA:YOU is now closed. Thank you for the tremendous response to our call for applications.

Are you an aesthete?

Do you enjoy engaging with art deeply, meaningfully, fearlessly, and sharing that experience with others? Have you found out that art experiences really do make you a smarter person? A deeper thinker? A better problem solver? A closer listener? More open-minded? Happier? Closer to others and the world of culture around you? Have you realized that wealth isn’t defined by cash anymore, but by transformational experiences? Are you “in” on the secret language of art? Are you an innovator, looking to be inspired by practicing artists, and take that inspiration home to your own practice? Are you a trailblazer, making sure that your input impacts the future of the cultural life of your community? Do you live the cosmopolitan life, taking full advantage of the fact that you live amidst the vibrant, diverse and innovative cultural production of the Bay Area?

Would you like to be?

Join YBCA: YOU.

YBCA: YOU is a personalized way to get inside the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and develop a new, fully integrated relationship with the center. The program combines a free all-access pass to YBCA’s events and programs with someone to help you navigate all that YBCA has to offer -- sort of like a concierge, a personal trainer, a therapist, a makeover artist, and the host of an elite party all in one. Together with your aesthetic coach you’ll develop a self-curated, custom-tailored plan to get the most out of your YBCA membership: from visual arts exhibitions, performances, and film/video screenings to outings, social events, pre-and post-show programming, and exclusive events just for you. You’ll gain closer access to the work that YBCA presents while providing the center with crucial feedback about taking the contemporary art experience from the transactional to the personal.

YBCA:YOU is made possible, in part, through generous grants from The James Irvine Foundation and Adobe Foundation.
