Yosemite Sierra Artists (formerly Yosemite Western Artists) is a non-profit organization for artists and art patrons dedicated to promoting the visual arts in the Yosemite area.
YSA offers art workshops, demos, and social gatherings for painters and photographers since 1971. We encourage “the practice of craft” to enhance the enjoyment and skill of artists of all media.
We invite you to join us for the camaraderie and support of fellow artists.
