The Young Art Lawyers Association (YALA) is a branch of the Art Lawyers Association (ALA) that focuses on supporting individuals interested in or starting their careers in art law. If you are an Associate, Student, or Academic member of the ALA, you are already part of YALA and welcome to join our activities.

No, you do not need a separate membership. Your active ALA membership automatically includes access to YALA events, resources, and community.

YALA provides a range of activities, including networking events, educational seminars, book club, workshops, and opportunities to connect with peers and professionals in the art law field. These events are designed to help members learn, grow, and build meaningful relationships within the art law and art market communities.

Members can participate by attending events, contributing to discussions, and engaging with our community online or in person. Keep an eye on our website and social media for upcoming events and gatherings.

Some of our events are free or included with your ALA membership. However, fees may vary depending on the event, and any associated costs for specialised workshops or conferences will be clearly outlined in the event details.

Absolutely. YALA is specifically designed for those at the start of their art law journey, whether you’re a student, a recent graduate, or in the early stages of your career. Our supportive community welcomes enthusiasts eager to learn and grow in this exciting field.
