Arts Weekly | Feb 10-16 — Young Professionals in the Art

It's the last day to apply for CultureSwap (see below for more details) and we encourage all our members to do so to make connections with other folks across arts and cultural organizations in our city. Our read section this week looks at a variety of topics from fascinating artist projects to that contested "Head of Coffee" position at the Tate Museum in London. In events, we love the NYPL's take on Valentine's Day and hope everyone finds their book match this Friday. As ever, we share many opportunities for you to apply to among them fellowships and part-time jobs too.

Finally, we hope many of you can make it to our next YPA Winter Happy Hour on February 20 starting at 6pm. Come meet like-minded arts professionals over a happy hour drink!

Check out our Read, Go, Listen, and Apply sections below and sign-up for our member’s newsletter for our expanded weekly round-up (including even more content!), delivered straight to your inbox every Monday morning.
