25th Annual Young Authors, Young Artists Conference
 
YAYAThe 25th annual Young Authors, Young Artists Conference welcomes students in grades 4-6 from public and private schools across southeast Minnesota. Students participate in active, motivating, idea-generating symposium of sessions. The conference focus is to promote student enthusiasm and competence in written and visual communication. Students will be encouraged to have fun with their creativeness and uniqueness. This program makes a significant impact on children whose writing interests range from mild avid and diverse and exposes students to the art and joy of writing. It's a great way to cultivate a child's imagination!

The Southeast Service Cooperative will sponsor the 2012 YAYA Conference at the Rochester Community and Technical College campus. Students will come together to enjoy sessions ranging from character development, art making, poetry writing, cartooning, illustrating, comic book creation, and book arts. In addition, there will be a book sale coordinated by The Book Shelf in Winona with books from some of the presenters as well as a variety of others!
 

It is hard to believe that the students who attended SSC's first Young Authors, Young Artists conference are now in their late 30s! That fact is a testament to the popularity of this long-running celebration of the arts.

The conference is for students in grades 4 - 6, will take place May 17 & 18, 2012 at Rochester Community and Technical College. Register by April 13, to receive the $45 registration rate ($50 for registrations received after April 13).To celebrate our 25th conference, there will be no charge for chaperones!
