After a successful first cycle this past year, the Yellow Chair Salon is excited to announce the 2024-2025 cycle of Symposia!, an intensive virtual program for artists with an advanced studio practice. This is a rare opportunity to work with some of the leading artists, educators and critics in contemporary art. Participants will hone their individual voices and professional practices while supporting and challenging each other.

We are pleased to announce that we have several returning faculty as well as some new. Molly Zuckerman-Hartung will be returning to co-teach with Fox Hysen, and Kyle Staver, Judy Pfaff, and Jennifer Samet will be returning to co-teach with Michael David. We are happy to announce a new Symposia! with Astrid Dick co-teaching with Michael David.

Symposia! is unique in that there is a real engagement from your mentors throughout the program. If you have already had the chance to participate in one of our salons and/or courses, you already know that our focus is on building lasting ties in the community. While regularly enriching our program by welcoming new faculty, we have a core faculty who are committed to helping you push and refine your practice when necessary, challenge you, support you with a long-run perspective and taking into account the particularities of your trajectory and your goals. We are interested in getting to know you, as we accompany you as your work changes and grows, and we recognize the time that this needs.
