Drawing workshop with Alison Smith

.M Contemporary is proud to present the Young Collectors Initiative (YCI), a program designed to inspire and empower the next generation of art collectors.

The YCI builds on the gallery’s longstanding commitment to emerging talent, which began with the gallery’s Young Artists Initiative (YAI) at its inception in 2013. YAI has been a cornerstone of the gallery’s mission to support newly graduated artists, offering them a platform to exhibit their work, gain industry experience, and connect with collectors. Many YAI alumni have gone on to build significant careers and representation with the gallery.

The first event as part of the YCI will feature an exhibition of works on paper by both established and emerging artists, with all pieces priced under $1,000. This curated collection provides an accessible entry point for aspiring collectors to acquire original art while connecting with the contemporary art community.
