The Youth Advisory Board (YAB) is a dedicated group of teen artists (ages 16-22) who work to promote and facilitate teen involvement at Southern Exposure (SoEx). In weekly meetings, YAB members organize art events, exhibitions, and projects for SoEx. YAB will have opportunities to collaborate with the artists and curators involved with the SoEx community. YAB fosters and supports an understanding of art presentation formats, the contemporary cultural landscape, art institutional systems and how power might operate within these structures. YAB supports young artists in developing their voices as leaders. We consider the students who participate to be an integral part of the community of SoEx.

Program runs October 2021–May 2022
Meetings are once a week virtually and sometimes in-person. Participants will receive a small stipend.
