Public Programs

Three exciting series of public programs offer a deeper experience of YBCA films, exhibitions and performances.

Artists InSight are artist talks and guided tours that focus on the artist's creative process and influences. YBCA Live are social events and performance-related happenings. Centered on YBCA's Big Ideas, Community Conversations offers a forum for critical dialogue that positions the art and artists we present in a broader social, political, philosophical and historical framework.
