OUR PROGRAMS
COLLABORATION DAYS
It's hard enough trying to chase your dreams, but it's even harder when you're trying to do it all on your own. The YCVC Collaboration Days are designed to bring together passionate and talented creative professionals of varying skill levels who want to collectively increase their experience, exposure, and connections. Our goal is to foster a thriving ecosystem where creatives of all backgrounds and disciplines can develop their ideas without financial barriers, resource limitations, or lack of community support.
​
Past Collab Days have led to fashion shows, photoshoots, and video shoots across Los Angeles and Santa Monica. Many participants formed lifelong connections and secured long-term partnerships after the event. Watch past recaps here.
CREATIVE CAREER PANELS X NETWORKING MIXERS
Pursuing a creative career is no easy feat, but it's a journey worth taking. The YCVC Creative Career Panels x Networking Mixers are designed to introduce emerging creative professionals to the wide range of career opportunities within the creative economy. Attendees gain valuable insights on turning their passions into paychecks while engaging in Q&A sessions and networking directly with industry professionals.
​
Past events have featured creatives like Chinedu Unaka (Insecure, Abbott Elementary) and Nkeiruka (NK), who has worked with artists such as Chris Brown and Burna Boy.
FIELD DAYS (IN THE WORKS)
Our newest program, The YCVC Field Day, is designed to pamper the creative vessel from which all art is made. It's easy to forget to take good care of ourselves when we're focused on productivity. The YCVC Field Day is a program designed to connect creatives and the extended community in a fun and relaxing way. Participants can engage in solo and group games, network with community organizations at information booths, enjoy local food vendors, explore various activities, and spend quality time outdoors. By fostering a connection with nature, body, and community—a harmonious triad essential for longevity and success—The YCVC advances its mission of making the creator economy more equitable by preserving the wellness of the creators themselves and combating the loneliness epidemic prevalent in our country today.
