What People Are Saying

"My studies taught me how to be a great photographer, but I was never trained in business or sales. YES has helped me figure out what type of edge I had on the photography market and go for the right clients. There is no way I would be working for myself if it wasn't for YES."

— Loïc Pravaz, YES client

"The YES Art Expo brought me the full attention of major art galleries that wouldn’t consider me before, even though I had previously contacted them a few months ago; seeing my works through the Expo’s professional setting made this happen."

— Louis-Bernard St-Jean

"I attended the Artist's Conference and can honestly say that I descended that staircase as one person and ascended it afterwards as another. The information that was imparted to us served to transform my behavior especially the talk delivered by Jordan LeBel of The John Molson School of Business. "

— Glenna Tissenbaum
