Youth Arts Collective, or YAC is a nonprofit, after-school art studio for young people ages 14-22 located at 550 Hartnell Street in Monterey, California. The YAC has been recognized by a variety of organizations for their contributions to the local art scene in Monterey. About Youth Arts Collective was created in 2000 by artists Meg Biddle and Marcia Perry. YAC was developed so that local young adults had a mentored studio in which to discover and advance their artistic abilities. The structure of YAC is free and unscheduled, unlike a class in that there are no set projects or mediums that one must use, although help is given if needed and there are specified open hours. YAC seeks to provide a foothold for young artists to succeed in the professional world by having the proper tools, knowledgeable mentors, and a culturally diverse and friendly environment comprising of students from eight local high schools, independent studies, and three local colleges. Leadership For twenty-seven years Meg Biddle and Marcia Perry have been partners in Biddle Perry Studios, creating numerous murals, cartoons, illustrations, paintings, and product designs not only for local consumption, but also various schools and magazines, and even international publishing. While both founders have a wide array of talents in using different mediums, each displays a partiality to a certain aspect of the art world.
