FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MONTEREY MUSEUM OF ART PRESENTS WORK FROM YOUTH ARTS COLLECTIVE
Fresh perspectives and new looks on life presented by young artists

MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA-The Monterey Museum of Art announced the opening of a new exhibition of works by members of the Youth Arts Collective (YAC), May 19-August 2, 2012. The public is invited to attend a reception for the artists, Saturday, June 9, 2-4 pm at the MMA Pacific Street, located at 559 Pacific Street, Monterey.  The reception is free with Museum admission.

Paintings, sculpture and photographs in the exhibition are recent works created by students of the Youth Arts Collective. YAC leaders mentor talented artists who wish to develop their skills in a variety of medium and work to develop opportunities for exhibiting the students’ work.

Guided by personal perspectives and ideas and supported by a collaborative community of peers, students are encouraged to challenge themselves through exploration and experimentation. The highly individual nature of the artworks on display highlight the self-expression and creativity that form the core values of the YAC program.
