Museum Messages
The YAA board of directors are excited about YAA's new chapter with the appointment of Traci Leon as Executive Director and CEO.
Traci's response -- "Young At Art Museum is a beloved local pillar of the arts in our community. I’ve taken my students on field trips and family to Young At Art for years now. We've grown up with YAA, and this year marks 35 years of serving our community. I’m excited to expand Young At Art Museum while honoring its core mission and roots, to fill the void in art education."
Traci was a Broward County gifted teacher for 25 years, then built and owned 4 Code Ninjas in Broward County for 5 years. With her strong education and entrepreneurial background, she brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion for the arts, making her the perfect fit to lead YAA.
