Dear Community,

Young Artists of America (YAA) condemns racism and all expressions of hate and discrimination. We stand up now to state clearly that the recent xenophobic attacks on the Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander community are horrific and unacceptable. Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the senseless violence. As a next step, we will reach out, both inside and outside our network, to listen and learn how YAA can best support the AAPI community.

Sincerely,

Ollen Douglass, Board President
Lisa Larragoite, Executive Director
Rolando Sanz, Producing Artistic Director
Kristofer Sanz, Music Director
Terry Eberhardt, Associate Artistic Director
