Yosemite Sierra Artists is a non-profit organization providing artists opportunities to learn and show their work.

YSA was founded in 1971 by a group of artists and art enthusiasts interested in sharing their work, their experience, and their passion for learning more about the arts. Our mission is to provide art education for artists and other community members in the Yosemite area, including Madera, Mariposa, and Fresno counties.

Do I have to be an established artist?

Not at all! Yosemite Sierra Artists embraces and accepts all artists, from beginners to advanced. Since we are an educational organization, it’s a great way for budding artists to learn their craft and established artists to fine-tune their talent. Yosemite Sierra Artists provides many opportunities to grow and show your work within the community.

What are the fees?

Member fees are only $40/year for individuals, $20 for active students, and $60 for families. YSA Members receive discounts on group sessions, YSA-sponsored art shows, and more!
