The MARINA YOUTH ARTS Mission
MYA was founded in 2005. Our mission is to provide opportunities for children of Marina and throughout the region to experience the performing, visual, and cultural arts through seasonal and year-round participation-based programs. We are the only non-profit organization in Marina committed to such an endeavor. We believe that communities need to preserve and nurture the Arts because they are vital to the quality of life now and in the future.
🎄 Vendors Wanted! — 3rd Annual Holiday Market & Student Art Exhibition 🎨
We’re looking for local artists, makers, crafters, and small businesses to join us for our 3rd Annual Holiday Market & Student Art Exhibition!
This event is about more than holiday shopping. By participating, our vendors help show young artists that creativity can go beyond the classroom. Art, craftsmanship, and creative ideas can become a source of income, a small business, or even a future career.
It’s also an opportunity for students to connect with local creators, see entrepreneurship firsthand, and learn how members of their own community have turned their talents into something more.
Come sell your work, share your experience, support our student artists, and help inspire the next generation of local creators.
Interested in becoming a vendor? We’d love to have you!
