Public Square
Throughout time, the public square has served as an open place where people of all kinds have gathered to share new information, to surface big questions, and to enact change.
As an art center and a citizen institution, there is no better place for a modern-day public square than YBCA. That’s because it will take the inspiration and creativity of all of us to create the change we want to see in the world and YBCA is committed to its role as an inclusive gathering place.
During a YBCA Public Square, you’re invited to join us for programs designed to spur conversation, cultivate empathy, and address the key questions of our time.
