Young Professionals in the Arts (YPA), established in 2009 by Founder-Director Vishal Sumarria, is a London-based networking group created to foster connections for creative and visual arts professionals.

Aimed at those who work in galleries, auction houses and museums, or as writers, independent curators and any other professional capacities within the visual arts (although not artists, students or interns), YPA provides a forum for professional development.

YPA London attendees are provided the opportunity to meet, exchange ideas and foster relationships with colleagues from across London at regular events.
