This year, YES launches its new program, YES Contemporary Institute, focused in education, professional development, and generating critical dialogues surrounding art practice in El Salvador and Central America. The program, formerly known as Artist Academy, has shifted its focus and expanded to better address the needs of the artist community in El Salvador.
