You know those days that could use a few extra hours? All of last week felt like that for us. But especially so when we discovered the “Arts + Social Impact Explorer” by Americans for the Arts. Not only is it a great resource for stats, facts, and data, but each segment includes an additional reading list that makes us wish for extra reading time. Under GO this week, we’re excited to share our next event in partnership with NYFA’s Emerging Leaders program “Managing Up and Down: Conflict Resolution in the Workplace” on Monday, Oct. 29 (register now!). Lastly, even if you have a full-time job, you might want to consider becoming a "People Mover” at National Sawdust for two days? We were intrigued. More below under APPLY.

And if you’re on the hunt for new opportunities, head over to Apply for new jobs. And make sure to snag your ticket for the Affordable Art Fair this month with a special YPA ticket offer.

Full steam ahead for all of us after this lovely Labor Day Weekend!
We hope you managed to get some well-deserved rest and are ready to conquer this new school year and programming season. Even if you're not on a semester/season schedule, doesn't it always feel like new beginnings after Labor Day? We might not be doing our usual back-to-school shopping anymore (new notebooks and pens, anyone?) but leaving the slow summer behind, we're ready to take on new work projects, geared with YPA arts resources, and looking forward to plenty of YPA events this fall!
More, as always, in this week's round-up below.

How have you been using the summer? Is it a time for professional or personal growth? Or are you using it to take a breather, gather energy, and prepare for a new season? We have tried to cram in a little bit of both, all the while trying to make more time for family and friends and all the fun (and often free!) summer events NYC has to offer. We know you can't manage to do it all in a day, but while the summer days seem longer, we sure do try! :)

A recent article highlighting two conference attendees at American Alliance of Museum's annual gathering tackles how a 'Codes of Conduct' can be interpreted differently and demonstrates the value of open conversation to create understanding.

Channeling Huma Bhabha's Met Rooftop offering as the theme for the week, We Come in Peace, we challenge you all to seek a better understanding of a difference this week. Whatever that means to you.
