YOLO art was found because of the urgent need for expressive platforms, and to close the communication gap between different backgrounds, orientations and affiliations. YOLO art believes the true communication lies within humanity itself, and that there is no language more important than the language of art. Hence, YOLO art is a warm space for anyone who believes that the meaning of life lies in never stopping the journey of searching, learning, and developing.
We aspire at YOLO art to be a genuine opportunity for people interested in communication and continuous development, which leads to the advancement of the place itself.
YOLO art is a for-profit foundation that is not funded by any party other than the founders of the project themselves.
