Residencies

Young Audiences of Western New York, Inc. would like to offer you the opportunity to create your own residency by combining performances and workshops by different artists who focus on the same curriculum material. These residencies can be as involved as you would like to make them, and as always, the YA-WNY staff is here to help you design a residency or answer any of your questions or concerns. We can be reached at (716) 881-0917 or info@ yawny.org
