We are a network of contemporary Filipino artists and art educators doing collaborative workshops under the banner Young Artists Studio (YAS). YAS is a service-oriented group composed of contemporary Filipino artists and art educators doing collaborative art production trainings year-round. YAS wishes to give a venue for potential artists across age groups to learn techniques and styles of art production while instilling essential life values, creativity, social awareness and cultural interest.
YAS believes that art is a powerful tool to influence communities, improve lives, and transform society. Aside from conducting art trainings, YAS regularly holds art-based outreach programs in coordination with CreatingSpace Inc., a non-government organization dedicated to sustainable arts and culture.
YAS students are a mix of different age groups with majority coming from toddlers to young kids (4-10 y/o), teens and adults. On a larger scale, YAS’ objective is to promote art as a major component in holistic human development, a sustainable profession and a catalyst for social transformation.

YAS is where I got reunited with my love for painting after so many years! Thanks so much to Teacher Crown and Teacher Avi for being the best teachers in the world!
